August Focus:

We are going to spend 2 – 3 weeks getting the kids ready for Pre-Kindergarten. The key topics are:

1. Review what we learned in preschool/Pre-K last school year;

2. Assessments of Letters, numbers, and colors;

3. Learn about the rules/manners, the daily routines, and the learning centers;

4. Get to know each other;

5. How is Pre-Kindergarten like preschool, how is it different?

6. How do we feel about going to Pre-Kindergarten?

7. How do we make and keep friends in the class?

8. What names do we need to know at school?

9. What should we do if we get sad or scared at school?

10. How to stay safe from Covid-19 and other virus at school and how to wash hands;
