Communique from Center Head
Childhood is not a race, to see how quickly a child can read and write. Childhood is a small window
of time to learn and develop at a pace which is right for each individual child. Early education can
play a critical role during this important developmental period. The last two decades in particular
have produced many new practices and principles for use in the classroom with young children, to
enrich the learning environment. Keeping pace with the time, incorporating the positive changes is
what has kept us going.
Your support and contribution towards our school is no less. It feels good when you come back to
us with siblings and friends with the same trust and faith that you placed in us.
Parent resource corner
TO ENCOURAGE YOUR CHILD’S PHYSICAL (GROSS AND FINE MOTOR) DEVELOPMENT
Collect safe toys and equipment to help your child develop large muscles. You can set up
empty water bottleslike bowling pins, and let your child use a soft ball to “bowl.”
Join your child in active play. You can play “catch the ball” with your child, or set up a simple
obstacle course.
Give your child opportunities to cut with scissors from magazines or shapes for a matching
game.
Teacher Resource corner
It is very important to set rules for a preschool classroom (3-5 yrs.), as it helps, in maintaining a
healthy classroom environment, where learning can take place.
1.
One thing that works well in a preschool classroom is a registration corner (self-attendance).
Initially, the teacher writes their names each in a different colour. Once the year progressed
they learn to recognize their name, teacher writes the names in the same colour for a
challenge.
2.
Assigning classroom jobs gives the students a sense of ownership with their classroom.
Examples...
Snack leader
Line leader
Book helper
Weather and calendar helper
Jobs can be rotated on a weekly basis.
One classroom skill that pre-schoolers may struggle with is walking in a line. Example… (Song)
Hands at the back… here we go…
Walking down the corridor...
Nice and slow.
When standing in the front of our line, teacher would say to students "One, two, three.....eyes on me."
They would respond "One, two.....eyes on you." The goal is to get them all looking forward.
Words of wisdom
A lesson plan is a teacher's detailed description of the course of instruction for anindividual lesson.
A daily lesson plan is developed by a teacher to guide class instruction. The first thing a teacher
must do is decide on the lesson plan's focus. The teacher creates one idea or question they want the
students to explore or answer. Next,the teacher creates classroom activities that correlate with the
established idea or question.
Classroom humour
During Show and Tell, Miss Johnson showed pictures of different birds.
“Miraya,” she said, “What kind of bird does you like the best?”
She thought for a while. “Fried chicken,” she replied.
My little sister is so smart. She’s only in Nursery, and she can spell her name backwards and
forwards
Really? What’s her name?
“Anna”…
