K-Prep

 

This month our focus will be social and emotional development.  The children will develop an awareness of themselves as an individual with unique thoughts, feelings, and perspectives.  This goal is used to help children understand themselves so that they may begin to understand that other children also have uniqueness in their feelings and opinions.  The children will also work on developing the ability to control impulses.  This goal is used to help children prepare themselves for Kindergarten and the need to participate in group activities for increasing amounts of time.
