March 4-8, 2013

Hooray for March! We are hoping for an early spring this year and some warm weather soon. This is a super fun month. We are celebrating Dr. Seuss' birthday all month long with different crafts and activities. We will also be studying parts of Europe. In math the students will start learning subtraction and geometry.
Coming Up....

School closures due to weather: If the school is closed for a snow day please check local news websites and/or tpaak.org. If Poudre school district is closed our school will be closed as well. If you are on Facebook you can check the Academy of Arts and Knowledge Preschool page and we have a new website www.aakpreschool.com. Sometimes our school is closed when the rest of the district is not, so always check when there is inclement weather.
