Before Christmas break, the morning preschool class visited the Senior Center and worked on puzzles with them. When doing puzzles they can help children to develop memory skills, as well as an ability to plan, test ideas and solve problems. Puzzles can also help develop hand-eye coordination, develop finger and hand muscles, learn to reason and deal with frustration and learn to persevere and be patient.
We are excited to welcome staff back on Wed, Jan 2nd, and students on Thu, Jan 3rd!
Take a look ahead at the week on our daily bulletin here: https://bit.ly/DPSDAILYNEWS.
