Preschool students are starting to settle in! They are comfortable with their teachers and in their learning environment.
Teachers model small play groups to support students who need social skills to engage with peers. Students form their own peer play groups and engage in pretend play to celebrate a special birthday. Sometimes students chose to explore all on their own.
All of these are important skills to practice and develop through the school year. Our friends are bonding and enjoying their time at school!
We’re proud that so many of our alumni come back to teach in ESUSD! 🌟
