Welcome to Pre-k! 2024

Hello everyone, we've had such a FANTASTIC start to the school year. Kudos to all you families for having the most awesome kids - we're really having a blast. In the beginning of the year we spend a lot of time slowly slowly introducing routines, rules, materials, and practicing them over and over again. All the while we're working hard to build relationships all around. Here are some of our highlights from the past week and a half. So far we've learned: Our circle time routine, along with a couple of fun new songs. Ask your child to sing "My Poor Hand is Shaking" or our "Good Morning Dear Earth" song for you. :) How to use crayons and paper, watercolor paints, and big easel paints How to safely use and take care of our shovels and rakes and other small hand tools Different indoor classroom centers, like blocks, dramatic play, light table, book nook, puzzles and games, and art table . And there's so much more! Enjoy these pictures that will he...

Stirring Our Brew

From freezing cold to unseasonably warm, we've had an eventful week! Halloween energy is in the air - thank you for helping your children come to school as rested as is possible this time of year. And, just to layer on the sleep challenges, don't forget about daylight savings ending this Sunday November 3rd. If you want to get ahead of the hour difference you can start inching your child's bedtime 15 minutes earlier for the next couple of nights. Here are some highlights from the week :) A tricky choice on a morning expedition: over or under the log? We climbed Mt. Everest a couple of times this week! It's the steepest mountain at Guilford Central School, and though you can't tell from the pictures, requires a ROPE to scale up the challenging cliff. We love cheering for our classmates as they climb. What to do with leftover pumpkins? Go bowling, of course! What great counting practice - how many pine cones did we knock over? How many are still standing? And...

Ice is Nice

We had such a fun week exploring ICE. Pre-k kids always have some interesting ideas about ice, and when we encounter so much of it in the woods (!) the ideas start flowing. This week we followed some of these ideas, and worked and played exploring the different properties of ice. There is so much interest and still some misconceptions, so we'll continue to explore and learn about ice until the excitement fades. A great way to document children's thinking in school is through the Floor Book method. This essentially means capturing kid's thinking in a big book. You can see the start of our floor book below. Once we understand what children are thinking (as captured on the pages) we teachers can create activities that engage their interests and extend their conceptual understandings. You can look more closely at the pages of our floor book when you drop off your kiddos in the morning. Boy oh boy, pre-k is fun! Enjoy the pictures to learn more: Here is the start of our floor ...
