Join your class for a fun and educational evening!
This is the second mandatory class of the year — if you cannot attend your class’s scheduled date, please choose one of the other options and let your teacher know right away.
We’ll be exploring our personalities through the Myers-Briggs assessment and discovering how it impacts our parenting and partnerships. Each parent should take the test and send your results to your teacher: https://www.humanmetrics.com/personality
This topic has been a parent favorite for over 15 years!

Teacher Suzanne’s Recommendations: There are lots of good books to celebrate the holidays. Here are some of my picks for more general books Harvest Days:Giving Thanks Around the World, If You Give A Mouse A Cookie, Eyes that Kiss in the Corners, Molly Lou Melon pack, Nat’l Geo Things That Go pack, The Feel Good Book, the Llama llama picture book pack, Click, Clack, Moo, Cow That Type and the Nat’l Geo Winter Animals pack. The great board books are Goodnight, Goodnight Construction Site Concepts pack, Goodnight Moon, The Napping House and The Tiny Seed.
