Schofield Scoop
March 24, 2024
This week's scoop is showcasing the 5 classrooms in our Integrated Preschool. Students worked together to find ways to capture that sneaky Leprechaun. Teachers provided thematic and engaging activities for the 3-5 year olds to explore during their day. Look below to see how our Preschool Classes celebrated St. Patrick's day.

Little fingers need lots of fine motor practice to strengthen those little muscles. Teachers provide multiple opportunities with variety of sensory activities to work on those fine motor skills. Easter grass (green with gold coins and leprechauns!), sand table and playdough are three examples of sensory play this week.
Table top activities for Preschoolers include drawing and writing and building with manipulatives. Teachers also facilitate social skills through the encouragement of conversation and turn taking.
Dramatic play areas change frequently, often reflecting the theme or topic of study the class is working on. Play areas this week included a vet's office, dollhouse and cars, blocks and dinosaurs. This is a less structured play space, often an area of choice by the student. Embedded in this play is the practicing of those same, essential skills of turn taking, waiting patiently and conversation.
Students worked together to create Leprechaun traps. It was so impressive to see the teamwork, creativity, give and take, and ingenuity these 5 year olds used. Unfortunately no Leprechauns were captured despite everyone's best efforts.
