Since the last blog entry, our team (Ruggles Tuesday-Friday) has had two new kids join the preschool and the Jumpstart program. We have moved from the theme of family on to the theme of friends in our session plans. We have been reading books, like The Little Red Hen Makes a Pizza, A Letter to Amy, and Hooray, a Piñata! The children have loved all of them as witnessed through their play. The children express their understanding of the concept of friendship most often in dramatic play. We have moved on from developing alphabet knowledge through the exploration of name cards to the actual sounds of letters. This is working well so far and is something that adapts to the children’s increasing learning level. We hope the great progress continues throughout the year!
