Welcome to Pre-K! |
|
|
Welcome to Preschool! We're so glad you're here. We will have such a GREAT time in Preschool. We will make new friends and have fun experiences. In Preschool we will also be working on and learning many different skills. My goal is to provide a developmentally appropriate curriculum that will prepare your children for their elementary school experience. Preschool will ensure the children a smooth transition into their kindergarten year. Parent involvement is a critical part of your child's school success and it starts in Preschool! I hope to work together with you to give your child the best educational beginning possible!
Our curriculum is focused on growth in 3 developmental areas: cognitive, social/emotional, and physical development. Our curriculum is aligned with the Tennessee Early Learning Developmental Standards.
A variety of activities will be implemented each day, including:
-
Gross Motor Activities: outdoor play, creative movement, climbing, jumping, large block building
-
Fine Motor Activities: cutting, tracing, drawing, coloring, writing, gluing, manipulatives, puzzles
-
Early Languauge/Literacy Activities: stories, poems, pre-decodable books, rhyming, letter and sound recognition, fingerplays, book-making

Positive Discipline |
|
|
Our Three School Rules Are:
Be Respectful
Be Responsible
Be Safe
These are some tools/procedures that we will use in our classroom to help enforce our rules and avoid conflict:
*Ask questions: Why did you...? How did that make you feel? What could you have done instead?
*Limited choices (Ex. If you want to go outside, we need to put on our coats. Or, you can choose to leave your coat off and we will play inside instead).
*Encouragement before rewards
*Natural consequences
*Classroom jobs-to foster a sense of ownership and responsibility
*If you say it, mean it. If you mean it, follow through.
*Redirection
*Problem-solving together
*Kindness and firmness
*Cozy area for when kids feel like they need a break
