Preschool and Kindergarten
Join Miss Erica in a lesson about feelings or emotions! Using Dr Seuss' book, "My Many Colored Days", we use colors, animals, and movement to explore our feelings. We, of course, begin and end the lesson with the Hello/Goodbye Songs that our students love!
Miss Shauna (and some helpers!) lead us through an extremely fun set of sequencing, or Stacking 8's! Our PreK classes learn that dance is counted in 8's and we also challenge them to remember the sequence, or order, of our steps!
Miss Erica brings us a favorite lesson with one of our favorite characters - Pete the Cat! This book is part of our preschool math unit. While actually teaching the concepts of subtraction, we use our bodies to help us count and sing with silly Pete about his groovy buttons!
