Child & Family Centers of Excellence

2 1/2 Year Old Classroom

 

I’m getting bigger and older now. In my new classroom I will play with my friends to learn how to socialize and get along with others. We’ll learn to clean up our toys to be safe. My friends and I will sit together at a big table for breakfast, lunch and snack. We will learn about going potty and washing away the germs when we’re done. After lunch we’ll brush our teeth with our very own toothbrushes. Our teachers will read us stories, sing songs and tell us about the theme for the day. We will create art projects and exercise our big muscles playing outside or in the gym.
