Ideas for Busy Families:
At Bath and Bed Time
In this unit, your child is learning all about himself or herself.
- Ask your child to identify his eyes, nose, and mouth. Talk about what each body part does to help your child develop vocabulary and self-knowledge.
- Invite your child to close his eyes and explore a stuffed animal or pillow. Ask:How does this feel? Then invite your child to open his eyes and describe the object.
On The Move
During the first weeks of PreK, your child is getting acclimated to school routines.
- Point out schools in your neighborhood or schools that your child might eventually go to. Talk about how children at different ages go to different schools to learn. This will help your child to attach a sense of purpose to going to school.
- When you pass by a school, take the opportunity to explain to your child what he or she might learn and do there.

Learning About Ourselves

Mrs. Zepeda
We are learning our daily routine, rules, and more about each other. Our unit is called "Who We Are". And we are exploring more about who we are, how to treat others with respect, and how to be kind as well as making friends. We are assessing their knowledge with shapes, colors, numbers, and letter recognition to better evaluate the areas we will need to work on with them. Thank you!
