I am the Lead Teacher in the Pre-Kindergarten classroom. I serve children and families from various economic, educational, and social backgrounds which make my classroom very unique! I take the children's interests and observations and create lesson plans and activities that will expand upon those interests and observations. For example, the children are IN LOVE with the Disney Movie "Frozen," so we made an entire unit focused around that movie. The children learned the precursor writing skills by learning the letters in the different character names of the movie. They learned geometry by differentiating the small, medium, and large snow balls and stacking them correctly to make "Olaf" the snowman. The children learned math and counting skills by counting snowflakes that fell during our morning meeting time. The children learned about music and the difference between slow and fast tempo while playing instruments to the song "Let It Go." It's all about taking what their interested in and finding ways to creatively weave those interests in with what objectives they need to master!Creativity goes a long way in a Pre-K classroom! Children learn best through play, so it's my job to make sure I provide lots of opportunities for them to play throughout the day! I strategically place various materials in the different centers when I feel a child needs help with a specific skill. You see, being a Pre-K Teacher, you have to recreate the way you teach! Children won't just learn from a book that you read to them, they have to do it, see it, feel it, play with it, and explore it! My job is to help my children become equipped with skills that will be needed to successfully enter the Kindergarten classroom with confidence!
