Our Week We used road signs to learn different shapes this week so your child may be more aware of the signs as you drive the roads. We also learned that red signs al- ways mean to stop something, yellow signs mean “be careful” and green means go. Triangle signs are yellow, and rectangle signs give information. A circle sign is al- ways for the Rail Road and it is always yel- low. We have the smartest kids in the whole world at Sacramento Head Start. Your chil- dren are settling in and branching out. Crystal and I are amazed everyday by how quick the children are learning new things and applying it to new situations. At the be- ginning of the year they needed to be in a group to play, now they are looking for new things to do by themselves. Thanks for sending them to us!
