Three to Four Years Old
Three-and four-year olds in the Panda
class continue to develop social and self-help skills in a fun,
structured environment. Pandas also begin to participate in games and
exercises designed to develop math and reading readiness.
In
Math, the focus is on number skills: recognition of numbers from 1-10,
and concepts of quantity. Recognition of shapes, colors and patterns
also form the framework for more advanced mathematical skills. Calendar
exercises reinforce counting and number skills, and provide a link to
science topics through discussions of weather and seasons.
Three
and four year olds receive an introduction to phonics in the Panda
class through stories, poems, and simple exercises. Children learn
correct, comfortable writing positions, and practice writing their
names, a skill that makes them very proud!
Throughout these
academic activities, students are honing their motor skills, learning
to follow directions, and to work independently. These older students
learn responsibility for their space and belongings, and become
increasingly self-sufficient.
There are always many
opportunities for creative and free play, individually and with others.
Pandas love to visit the dress up area, or curl up with a favorite book
in the library corner.
Music continues to be a central focus in the Panda class during circle time, and in enrichment classes twice a week.
