The students are invested in building a community within their classroom, sharing their knowledge & expressing what interests them. We have enjoyed creating amazing projects together, such as our texture board from your Family Connections work. Thank you for your participation! We know play is the way! It gives children a chance to practice what they are learning!

Our preschool classroom is buzzing with energy and excitement! The teachers have set up the classrooms for our young preschool scholars. Over the course of the school year, we will introduce 10 curriculum units with embedded learning activities in the areas of concept development, language skills, motor development, math, science/discovery, sensory exploration, social/emotional competence, music & movement, and creative art experiences. Each of these units will have a targeted theme such as school & me, transportation, farm, health & wellness, fine arts, seasons, Colorado exploration, prehistoric times, or animal habitats. We look forward to an exciting year of learning and building friendships with your preschooler.
We are beginning Unit 3 targeting Transportation. Our story books will be We All Go Travelling By by Barefoot Books and Preschool to the Rescue by Judy Sierra. The children will be learning new vocabulary, practicing concepts (shapes, same/different, opposites, prepositions), and building positivity through classroom experiences. Activities include: construction site at dramatic play, building a neighborhood with roads/vehicles/figures at blocks, graphing/numeracy/patterns at math, creative art experiences (such as tissue paper trains, personalized license plates, firefighter painting, painting w/vehicles wheels on the easel), play dough w/tools, building hand strength & coordination with puzzles & manipulatives, letter sounds/phonemic awareness at literacy table, community helper games at technology, learning new songs, and building core strength through steps at obstacle course. Our social skill target is focussed on turn-taking, sharing, and practicing safety rules at school.
