State Pre-K

Approaches to Learning: We just completed the Clothing study. We started by asking the children what they knew about clothes and then asked them what they wanted to learn about. They came up with some great ides. The children were asked what type of clothes their family members wear to work. We talked about uniforms people wear and why. We had a visitor from the State Police with his K-9. At the end of the study we went back and reviewed and discussed what we had learned.

Social and Emotional Development: We had a post office set up in our classroom. The children were taking turns, sharing materials and creating mail for each other. This has helped them to create a classroom community.

Language and Literacy: What should Pete wear today? We pretended to be fashion designers and designed a shirt or pants for Pete. The children are working on independent writing.

Cognition: We are continuing to work on our Kindergarten readiness skills in Math, we are enjoying being scientists and conducting science experiments.

Perceptual, Motor, and Physical Development: We have been practicing our fine and gross motor skills. We had a visitor come in and show us how she uses her hands and crochets. She creates beautiful things like this beautiful scarf.
