To help all Oberlin children start out on a path
toward excellence, kindergarten teacher Angela Padilla and preschool
teacher Cheryl Lawrie created a six week half-day transition-to-kindergarten
summer program open to all children residing in the Oberlin School
District. This program is significantly more structured than preschool,
but the low, 8-1 ,student-to-teacher ratio, not only allows for individualized
instruction, it also makes it more fun and challenging for the children. All program teachers will have experience
working in the Oberlin schools with either preschool or Kindergarten
children. Each three hours session
focuses on a particular letter and includes snack, recess, instruction, a craft
activity and structured play. Being physically located at Oberlin’s K-2
school allows the teachers to familiarize the children with specific school
rules and helps them become comfortable with the school campus. |
