Mrs. Wargo's Pre-K Classroom

In our Pre-K program, Skills Builder will complement the learning experiences we already provide throughout the day. Rather than being something separate, these skills can be woven into our play, classroom routines, literacy and math experiences, problem solving, peer interactions, small groups, and social-emotional learning. Our goal is to help children begin developing the confidence, independence, communication skills, flexibility, creativity, and ability to work with others that will support them not only as they transition to Kindergarten, but throughout school and beyond.

The framework focuses on eight essential skills, organized into four areas:

• Communication: Listening & Speaking

• Creative Problem Solving: Problem Solving & Creativity

• Self-Management: Adapting & Planning

• Collaboration: Leadership & Teamwork

We are excited to give our students a common language for these skills and help them recognize something very important: these are skills we can learn, practice, and grow!
