Room 3

Age Group:4-5-Year-Olds
Class Size:12 Children

We are going to have a fun and exciting year in room 3. Children range from ages 3-5 in our room. The children will make new friends and learn new skills. Throughout the year we will be fostering social development through small-group and whole-group activities. We will be using Touch Math and Learning Without Tears as our curriculums to teach literacy and math skills. We will also focus on developing each child’s play, self-help, and overall academic skills.

In our class, learning is a journey filled with laughter, challenges, and shared moments that make each day a down-to-earth delight.

Play centers in this classroom are all about exploration! Kids dive into new toys, games, and activities, giving them the chance to try out different roles and make new friends along the way. It’s a wonderful setup for learning, building social skills, and discovering just how fun it is to play together.

10.30.24 At school, jobs are a big part of building responsibility and independence for students, and everyone has a role in keeping things running smoothly. Today, E was spotted helping Ms. Sharice with an important classroom job: refilling water bottles. Together, they made their way to the hallway fountain, where E carefully rinsed and filled the bottle. His attention and willingness to help out showed a growing sense of pride in his classroom job, while also building practical skills he can use every day. It’s wonderful to see young students like E stepping up and enjoying their responsibilities!

7.17.24 Maintaining Skills During Summer in Room 8

In the summer months of the Extended School Year (ESY), our focus is on maintaining the skills our three-year-olds have developed during the regular school year. This period is essential for ensuring that their progress in speech, language, and other developmental areas is not lost over the summer months. For young children, continuous practice and reinforcement are crucial to prevent regression. Our dedicated teachers and therapists create engaging activities that keep these little ones motivated and focused, reinforcing the important skills they’ve worked hard to acquire.

The summer session also provides a valuable opportunity to focus on developing play skills. For our young learners play is a crucial aspect of learning and social development. Our teachers and therapists incorporate structured and unstructured play activities that encourage peer interactions, sharing, and imaginative play. These activities help children develop important social skills, such as taking turns, following directions, and communicating with their peers. We want our kiddos to continue to grow socially and emotionally, setting a strong foundation for the upcoming school year.

Dying Eggs. 3.28.24

Egg painting was on the menu today in Room 8! The kids had a blast watching the food coloring cups get soaked up by their eggs, and sometimes, even by their hands! Science and a holiday themed activity combined!
