PreK
Between four and five is a time of expanding horizons, and that's what students in the PreK do. They are budding writers. They keep journals, write letters to each other at their post office, and make alphabet books. They learn numbers in English and Spanish, and start to add and subtract. Art is omnipresent. It usually reflects what they are studying: fairy tales, seasons, water cycle, outer space, etc. During the second semester they do a big alphabet study with the theme selected by the students. In past years they?fve done such themes as dinosaurs, dogs, horses, and pirates. There's also plenty of time to play. Block towers and civilizations rise and fall. They drive cars, dress up, and keep house. They learn to share and take turns and have fun while learning. Children in the PreK class have weekly Spanish, music, and P. E. classes. The general curriculum occurs in the morning, and afternoon students take naps. Students must attend 5 days, either all day or mornings only.
