Circle Time ~ An Important Start of the Day

2009-03-13T09:01:00.001-07:00

(above is a small sample of our Circle Time area)

Children gain so much from Circle Time
When the children arrive in the morning they start out with tablegames. They choose the games they want to work with as their friends slowly arrive for the day. By 9:00 everyone is usually in class and settled in. The children clean up the table games and go to the Circle Time rug and sit on their name.

They know the routine and they are ready for the first song.

Circle Time Teaches Many Things :

Early Literacy Skills
Math
Science
Social Skills
Fine and Gross Motor Skills
School Readiness
Listening Skills
and so much more

What We Do:
(It is amazing how fast the children learn the songs, recognize words, name the months, recognize each other's names and so on after the school year begins.)

We sing the Helper Song.
We read the student names and their jobs.

We sing the The Calendar Song.
We say the month, day and year. A child posts the date on the calendar and we clap and count the number of days on the calendar.

We sing the song today is, yesterday was and tomorrow will be.
We go over the order of the days and what the current day is.
(The Pre-K class is spelling and reading the words through the school year)
We sing the Days of the week. The children can name the days and they know how many days there are in a week.

We sing the months of the year. The children can name all the months.

We sing about the Seasons. The children can name all four seasons. They can name what happens during the different seasons. They can say what season it is now.

We sing the weather song.
We discuss the weather and the children can read the weather word cards. A child has a turn doing the Weather Wheel.

We also do the Letter, Number, Color, Rhyming Words and more.

We end with The Pledge of Allegiance and Prayer.

Circle Time lasts around 12 minutes and the children love every minute of it. I use visuals when I teach. Visuals are the key. Children love to have something to look at while they are singing and learning. It's just too much fun !!!!!!!!!!!! :) Learning while having fun!

Games For Learning

2009-02-24T18:54:00.000-08:00

Color Recognition, Matching Letters of the Alphabet, Recognizing and Naming Shapes and Counting. The children love these games. I enjoy making these games for the children to use because I know they learn so much from them.

This is a Community Helper Tool Sorting Game. What does a Doctor use?

What Does a Carpenter use?

Ms.Vonda ~ Director/Pre-K-4 Teacher

I have been involved in Early Childhood Education for 25 years.In 2000 I received my CDA( Child Development Associate ) Credential and have continued my education in Early Childhood Development throughout the years.I am in my 17th year as a Early Childhood Teacher. I have been a Director 9 of those years.The first 8 years were in home care. I have taught children in church preschool programs and Head Start programs.It has been an awesome experience working with children in different classroom settings. I do not like calling teaching children work :) because it is something I love doing! Teaching is something that has to be loved because the children know! They can sense if you love and if you want to be doing what you are doing! I hope I have the chance to meet you and your child.
Our Three Year Lead Teacher is Mrs. Adrianne (Bearden) Praditbatuga~ She has seven years experience working with children and families.With 3 1/2 years working at HeadStart as a teacher assistant, teacher , and lead teacher.
