Please use this link to submit furniture needs.

Classroom Inventory~

Classroom inventories are now shared in Google Drive. Please refer to the inventory when using curriculum funds to purchase instructional materials for your classroom.

NOTE: If there is surplus Pre-K furniture which needs to be picked up from your school, please enter this request via the CMS intranet, Web Applications, MMIS in a non-MMIS Document. Your MMIS coordinator should be able to enter this on your school’s behalf. Once the request is in the system, a work request is generated for the warehouse team to pick up. Please note: If the Pre-K items being requested for pick up are rest mats, Pre-K coach, ottoman, and chair please send those to me at Smith via a non-MMIS document. The Pre-K number to enter in non-MMIS document is 9663 (Bright Beginnings). All other surplus items can go directly to the CMS surplus warehouse

Below is the link to enter a request for furniture pick up.

Remember, when placing orders in the winter/spring to stock up on items you will need to start the school year (sand, playdough, art supplies, collage materials for 3-D art, treasure box items, etc.). Reflect on the ECERS Supportive Environment checklist see what categories need more resources. Also consider what items may be added to interest areas to support the study.

Here are a few ideas of supplemental materials that you may want to consider:

• Replace broken items

• Read Aloud 1 books that need replaced

• Story retelling props for flannel boards

• Sand timers for centers 

• More Magnatiles (enough for 2 or 3 students to play at one time)

• More Legos (not Duplos, but the smaller Legos for fine motor development)

• Cultural/diversity materials (clothing for dramatic play, people for blocks, instruments for music area; books)

• Cozy area (calm down materials- fidgets, quiet shakers, etc.)

ECERS Monitoring Visits~

The Pre-K Department expects classroom teachers to implement the practices outlined in the Early Childhood Environment Rating Scale (ECERS). ECERS measures the quality of the environment, interactions, and activities that take place in a Pre-Kindergarten classroom. Pre-K teachers and teacher assistants are provided feedback on a modified tool by their Literacy Facilitator and are expected to follow through with suggestions to ensure the classroom meets ECERS environmental standards.
