Bri's Bees: A Look at Preschool!

I am currently registering kiddos for preschool in the fall for the 2020- 2021 school year. Last year I held a free mommy-and-me preschool class with my 3 year old. Now he is ready for the preK curriculum, which is my favorite! These pictures are from a preK class a few years ago.

Here's a look at our preschool schedule!

We start with snacks and puzzles. While the children are snacking and puzzling, I get to work on with them one on one with their reading. Each child moves at a different pace with the reading curriculum, so each day I read with them to assess if they can move forward. I am always amazed to see these little 4 year olds pick up reading so well.

After I have worked with each child we move in to our preschool room and start on our preschool routine. We review the calendar, ABCs and phonics, new reading curriculum sounds, colors, shapes, and numbers. We also sing some fun learning songs. They practice spelling their name and sounding words out. We also play games together like the Letter Monster or Mr. Penguin.

After we finish our preschool routine, we review some of what we've learned on our whiteboards. The children earn Bri's Bucks for participating during circle time and working on their whiteboards. Then we have a fun lesson and worksheet centered on our theme for the month (see below for a list of monthly themes). I will check off each of their work and give more Bri's Bucks. When they have 10 Bri's Bucks they get to go to the treasure box.
