HCA Families
On Wednesday, we met our HCA Families for the first time! We were thrilled to be able to bring back this tradition this year. Each family is comprised of students from early childhood, lower school, and middle school, with the middle school students as the leaders of the families. The children participated in a getting to you know activity and then made flags to represent their family which will be on display in school. Throughout the year, we will meet with our families to do a variety of activities together. This is such a wonderful community building activity for all the students and it is heartwarming to see the relationships that develop between the older and younger students.
Fine Motor Skills
Strengthening a child's fine motor skills is an integral piece of their development. Fine motor skill development not only helps refine a child's pincer grasp for writing, but also helps promote self-esteem and independence in a child's daily life. The Practical Life lessons in the classroom allow the children the opportunity to refine these skills on a daily basis - and the students love working with them!
