Last Thursday and Friday were days filled with learning. While the skills we practiced seem obvious, in reality even basic skills can be overwhelming when 20 four-year-old children begin doing them at once.
Here are some of the skills we practiced:
Learning what to do upon arrival.
Learning how to sit on the carpet.
Learning how to wash hands.
Learning how to walk down the hallway.
Learning how to eat snack and lunch.
Learning how to get out nap time cots.
Learning that boys and girls don't go in the restroom together.
You get the idea.
My poor Rockets came in on that first day thinking they'd get to play like at orientation, only to be told "Not yet, first we must learn how..." Fortunately on Tuesday we did learn a little about playing. Tomorrow that's what it's all about! They're gonna love it!
One thing I love about PreK is that while they think they're "just playing", that's how we sneak in an incredible amount of learning. So when your Rocket exclaims they "played", know that they've been
L E A R N I N G cause I promise I'm sneaking it in!
