Four Morning 9-12 Pre-K / Four Morning 9-1 Pre-K
The four-morning classes are for children who are eligible for kindergarten in their district the following year. Both classes meet Monday through Thursday. In addition to reinforcing the goals of the younger classes, the 4-year-old Pre-K program aims to prepare children for kindergarten by helping them master:
- Using a pencil or crayon with the proper grip
- Sorting groups of objects in more than one way/patterning
- Being able to identify their own address with the street and town when asked
- Predicting what may happen next in a story, in their daily routine, etc.
- Sharing, taking turns, and working cooperatively with a group
- Following multistep detailed directions
- Staying focused on a specific task for 10-15 minutes
