Interactive Preschool/Pre-K Circle Time

In this class, we will read, sing, play, and learn!

In each class we will:
 - read a fun story
 - have calendar time. During calendar time we will learn the months of the year, days of the week, weather and seasons, as well as practice counting. We will learn through repetition, song and discussion!
 - play a game. Preschoolers learn best through play! These games will give them a chance to interact with the teacher and their classmates as they explore topics such as letters and letter sounds, colors, shapes, counting, and numbers. We will also work on motor skills and social skills. Each learner will be called on by name multiple times during each game and will have the opportunity to answer questions or complete a task individually or to work with one of their peers. It is important to me that each child feels that they are contributing and participating in class and that they get to know each other! Friends are important! This time will also be important for working on skills such as taking turns, raising hands, and listening. We will cover everything your learner needs to know in preschool/prek!

Learners do not need any prior knowledge for this class. We will be learning together as we play, have fun, and socialize!
