Week of September 18th!

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 theme:

Blocks- Children are encouraged to use blocks to build buildings they are familiar with such as those they live in or visit often. 

Pretend Play- Children are invited to explore the dramatic play area and use the props and clothing provided. 

Art- Children are invited to create art in the art area to decorate the dramatic play area, or home. Students can hang their art in the dramatic play area. 

Science- Mirrors will be added to the science center for children to explore and discuss what they see. 

Math- A picture of each child will be cut apart, thus creating a puzzle. Students are invited to assemble their own puzzles and their peers’ puzzles as well.
