A Busy February for Lackman Playground
Katrina Smith, lead Tot Recreation teacher at Lackman Playground, has been working hard to get students ready for February-- a month when so many wonderful things are happening for the tots.
Children are celebrating Black History Month with books donated from the Free Library, Healthy Heart Month with nutrition supplies from the Public Health Management Corporation (PHMC), the Eagles Super Bowl victory as seen in the pictures above and below, and continued literacy.
Most of these beautiful children are from Asia, and English is not their first language. Katrina works hard to teach students sign language, as well as sight words to help build vocabulary. Library books are a huge help to her class as students learn firsthand about English through vibrant pictures and images.
Thank you to the Free Library and Tree House Books for your continued support of our Read by 4th program at Philadelphia Parks & Recreation.
