Theme
for the month:
Welcome
to Pre-K!
Goals for student understanding by the
end of the unit:
• My classroom and program are safe
places where I learn, play and have fun.
• I am an important member of my
classroom community; my thoughts, needs, ideas and abilities matter.
• The teachers and other adults at my
program keep me safe, care about me and support my learning.
• In my classroom I use materials
carefully and make choices about where I work and play.
• Classroom rules and routines help me
learn and stay safe.
Blocks-
Children are encouraged to use blocks to build buildings they are familiar with
such as those they live in or visit often.
Pretend Play-
Children are invited to explore the dramatic play area and use the props and
clothing provided.
Art-
