PS: Pre-K is a place for socialization and the introduction to basic academics. This being said, there is a writing component to our work, as well. If you would help your child learn the letters in his/her name, that would be wonderful! In addition, please help your child to begin to print their names. Thank you in advance.
PPS: Please begin to allow your child to take care of their own needs at home so that this will transition into the classroom. Understanding that they are only four, they are truly capable of mastering new tasks - for example: packing and unpacking their own backpacks, which includes placing their folders in the appropriate baskets, hanging up their own jackets/coats, etc. Thank you in advance!
