Parent Involvement:
Throughout the year there may be opportunities where your unique skills can be brought into our classrooms. Our community is full of diversity and our curriculum is designed to show the strengths in our similarities and differences. If you would like to present something particularly unique to your family and your culture, we cordially invite you volunteer! Teachers will be sending home notices, depending upon what theme of the month we are in, to request parent volunteers. Some opportunities that may come up are:
– Read a story – Demonstrate a cooking lesson – Show a cool and new Science experiment – Present an item or skill that is unique to your family and/or culture. – Take a walk around the neighborhood – If you have something that you feel may be of interest to the children, please feel free to – reach out to your child’s teacher.

What your child will learn:
Grounded in the Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework, the “Explorations Units” provide instructional opportunities for 3-K for All teaching staff, children, and families to connect, explore materials, and learn together. Explorations invite engagement in comprehensive, in-depth, play-based learning across domains. Topics and activities in Explorations begin with routines and the classroom community then progress to more abstract ideas throughout the year.
At St. Demetrios, we believe that symbolic languages such as painting, sculpting, writing etc. offer endless possibilities to children to express their thinking and understanding of the world around them.
Our 3-K program encourages and promotes all of the multifaceted ways in which children interpret and represent their ideas and circumstances they face in their daily lives.
The three Explorations are designed to be implemented in 3-K for All classrooms over the course of the ten-month program year.
Exploration One: Our Community Exploration Two: Our Environment Exploration Three: Our Impact
