Getting ready for Pre-K

Prekindergarten is a place where curiosity, discovery, and learning happen everyday through curriculum based play and hands on activities.

In Prekindergarten, we will:

Identify our feelings/emotions, care for others, play with our friends, and solve problems (Social/Emotional)
Engage in conversations, learn new words, discuss topics with details (Language/Communication)
Learn letters/sounds, rhyme words, learn information from books, write our name, and write our ideas (Reading/Writing)
Count aloud to 20, count objects, recognize numerals 0-9, create patterns, and learn about shapes (Math)
Use our senses and tools to learn about objects and observe and describe motion, energy, plants, animals, and weather (Science)
Learn about similarities and differences in our families and roles and relationships in the community (Social Studies)
Participate in music, art and drama activities with our friends (Art)
Balance on one foot, hop, jump, button, zip, and draw (Physical Development)

Tips for Summer Learning

Read aloud with your child every day for 15 minutes. Discuss the story or information with your child. Make a list of new words.
Encourage your child to write and draw pictures. It’s ok if they are scribbling, they are learning that print has meaning.
Count! Count! Count! Count cans in the pantry, grapes in their snack, socks in the laundry basket, or crayons in the box.
