Will my child have homework in Preschool?
Your child will not have "official" homework in Preschool but I always
encourage parents to read to their children at home. Your child will be able
to check out books from our classroom library so you can enjoy them together
at home. Also keep in mind that the more you talk to your child and expose
him/her to new vocabulary the better. I may also give suggestions in my
weekly newsletters about other activities to do at home.
--------------------------------------
What will my child learn in Preschool?
Your child will be learning pre-literacy and pre-math skills, meaning that
they will begin to develop the core knowledge needed for skills that will be
learned in future grades. For a list of specific reading and math skills you
can see me. Preschool children will also gain valuable social and emotional
skills as well as learning how to work cooperatively with other students.
--------------------------------------
What will my child do if he/she does not sleep at rest time?
A rest time is required for children in a full day Preschool program. If your
child does not sleep, he/she will be allowed to look at books on the mat, but
will need to remain quiet. The quiet "break" time is beneficial for the
children even if they do not actually sleep.

What can I do to help out in the classroom on a regular basis?
I could really use parents to assist in the classroom during lunch time.
During this time, you would monitor the children while they eat their lunches
so that the assistant and myself are able to take a short break. You could
also use this time to read a story to the class or play a short game if you
would like. You could sign up to help out every week or just on select days
that you are available. Please sign up on the Parent Board in the classroom.
You can also check the Parent Board for opportunities to sign up to be a
guest reader.
