Hi! I am Beth Anderson and I teach Pre-Kindergarten. Our approach to teaching revolves around the belief that children, at this young age, learn by doing and interacting with their environment.  The children receive cognitive preparation, physical coordination, develop social skills and build independent learning skills utilizing developmentally appropriate techniques.  We use a multi sensory learning approach to address all areas of the curriculum. 

     Our daily program includes Language, Math, Religion, Recess, Centers, Story time, and special activities. These include Physical Education, Music, Art, Library and Spanish.  Social Studies and Science are explored through weekly themes.  We are also working on social skills throughout the year which include manners, cooperation, sharing, taking turns, proximity control and patience.  We want the children to beware of others feelings. 

     We are using “The Letter People” which is a core program.  It is a comprehensive curriculum organized around themes that integrate knowledge across all subject areas.  The Letter People make the learning process fun.  The children enjoy the silly songs and imaginative stories that go along with each letter.  The Letter People, our teachers, parents and God’s love and grace help us daily to reach for the stars!
