First Week in Preschool

It is important to set the routines and agreement for the first week of school. By doing this, the students are guided towards success and the expectations in class.

The Preschoolers came up with 4 PRESCHOOL AGREEMENT:

1. We are good listeners

2. We stay on task. We start and finish our work.

3. We respect and love everybody.

4. No shouting, running in the classroom and in the hallway.

They all signed their names and promised to keep the agreement this whole school year!

This week we also practiced our ROUTINES.

1. lining up and walking in the hallway

2. chairs pushed in

3. wiping the tables after eating

4. transitioning from one class to the other

5. packing away materials after class work / play

Here are some photos of the Preschoolers busily and focused doing their work.

Next week, we will start with our unit on 'How We Organize Ourselves'.

Entering the world of imagination

Children use imagination to write poems and create artworks in wonderfully instinctive and unfiltered ways. They are not constrained by thinking or grammar rules and truly believe simple things in life. This kind of imaginative freedom allows them to create words and images that we might not even consider. They use personal experience and reimagine things. They write freely without filter and mix real life with fantasy to create rich, expressive writing. They can use this form of writing to develop self-confidence and connections with themselves and others. In Artwork, they use their creative imagination to create symbolic representation that we, as adults, could never have imagined. Children represent the world how they feel it, not just how they see it. Their artworks become a portal to an entirely new worlds. In this unit on how we express ourselves, preschoolers will be encouraged to use: Open-ended materials (like...
