Let's Get Ready for Kindergarten!

We are getting ready to kick off our Transition to Kindergarten program for 2010-2011!
     We have three very smart little boys heading off to kindergarten this year! We have been working on puzzles this week. We did a 100 piece puzzle together several times! They are GREAT at putting puzzles together and working as a team.
    
September 17th we will have an Open House from 3 to 6pm. Invite families to come by and see what we are all about. They and their children can experience our theme based learning through play environment.
     September 18th we will have a multi family yard sale and Open House from 7 am to 2 pm.

     The preschoolers are learning about calendars and the days of the week. Consistency  and a schedule is very important to young children. When they are able to know what day of the week it is or where in the daily schedule we are they feel more secure and confident. Each day Miss Crystal sings the Days of the Week song with them during group time and they look at the calendar. They talk about what numbers and days they have put up and what comes next. They also count how many days until "Happy Friday". These are all math and reasoning skills they are working on.
     We are planning to have a Transition to Kindergarten meeting for the parents hopefully with the TTK staff from the county and city program. That date will be announced as soon as I have it.
