Theme for the month:
Welcome to Pre-K!
Goals for student understanding by
the end of the unit:
• My classroom and program are safe
places where I learn, play and have fun.
• I am an important member of my
classroom community; my thoughts, needs, ideas and abilities matter.
• The teachers and other adults at
my program keep me safe, care about me and support my learning.
• In my classroom I use materials
carefully and make choices about where I work and play.
• Classroom rules and routines help
me learn and stay safe.
Lessons
and activities for the week:
Blocks- Children are encouraged to use blocks to build buildings they
are familiar with such as those they live in or visit often.
