Preschoolers have been soaking in tons of new knowledge about transportation, farm animals, veterinarians, pet stores, zoo animals, dinosaurs, and so much more! Over the past few weeks, students had fun playing in pretend “plan & play” scenarios in their classroom while pretending to be farmers, zoo keepers, paleontologists, and veterinarians. Through play, our students are learning about the world around them, future jobs they could have, and how to care for animals and other people.This hands-on learning helps our students engage with their peers and learn important social emotional skills to benefit them for years to come. I encourage you to “pretend play” with your child at home. You don’t need fancy toys! Just use your imagination while letting your child pick what to play and what should happen next. Preschooler brains are growing every single day. Their creativity and intellect is demonstrated through their ideas and imaginative play.
In our next unit we will be learning all about plants and new life in the springtime!
Please remember to turn in your “Read and Respond” sheets weekly. Students who turn them in, completed, will earn a ticket for a free slice of pizza or salad from Kwik Trip! Our students have been so excited earning this incentive. Keep up the great work of reading every night with your student!
