Getting to Know Pre-K

This head band started out as a cutting and pasting picture.

It slowly evolved into this great headpiece!

Learning fine motor skills, sorting and organizing,

sharing ideas and cooperative skills are all practiced

while playing house.

When and activity is at an appropriate level and 

the student is interested their working stamina can

be quite impressive.

I loved how this activity developed into an important 

lesson. We explored how and which shapes roll.

More students joined the experiment and we went on to decide

that circles could roll and triangles can slide.

This student has wonderful special relations.

She worked independently for quite a while

creating this tile board. 

Playing at building develops fine motor skills

and just like playing house it requires 

cooperation and conversation.

More opportunities to imagine, communicate,

use fine motor skills at the work bench 

and the store

The train set is usually occupied by more students.

They work together to build, then change the tracks,

all the while talking and imagining and problem solving.

With two teachers in our class we are able to provide a variety 

of learning activities for the students.

While the room was otherwise humming with activity

these students enjoyed listening to some stories.
