Welcome to a full school year of Preschool curriculum! 

This class is designed to teach your young learner all Preschool basics. Whether your child is just entering Preschool or is about to enter elementary school, they will feel prepared and confident with the skills they will master in this class. Your child will learn skills such as letter names, letter sounds, number recognition, shapes, colors, counting, and beginner writing skills. They will also be exposed to more advanced skills such as sorting, patterns, rhyming, and story comprehension. All skills will be taught in an engaging and interactive way. Even if children do not master all of these concepts, just having exposure and practice in these areas is so beneficial when entering elementary school. 

In this class, each week's lesson will focus on a letter and number. Each day will follow a consistent schedule. We will begin by discussing the calendar, followed by either letter or number talk. This will include songs, games, and activities that encourage learning literacy and math concepts. We will practice writing and building our letters and numbers in different ways with different materials. Most days will include storytime based on the letter of the week, season, or topics related to monthly themes. While learning all preschool curriculum, students will also learn important lessons in taking turns, listening, and following directions. In this class, students will have multiple opportunities to participate in class if they feel comfortable doing so.

Parents will receive an email every Sunday night that will include any handouts needed for the week along with a list of any supplies needed for activities. It is always a good idea to have basic supplies handy each day before class begins. Suggestions are: paper, pencil, dry erase board, markers, blocks, scissors, and glue. Basic craft supplies are:  glue, scissors, construction paper, crayons, or markers.
