MondaysLiterature - Classic to ContemporaryLed by Mrs. Beyrent, Miss Nigro, Mrs. Simone and Miss MooreResearch has proven that exposure to early reading activities is the single most important factor in raising areader and predicting future academic success. Those children who are read to on a regular basis and whointeract with books and activities that expand vocabulary, creative thinking and the written word, show moreinterest in books and learning to read. Our literature program will encourage a love of reading whilebuilding readiness skills.Each week the children will be exposed to a different literature genre such as classical andcontemporary children’s stories, poetry, and non-fiction which will develop the children’sunderstanding and appreciation of books and the written word. Our time together will includefinger plays and rhymes, flannel board and cooking activities, arts and crafts, dramatization ofstories through skits and puppetry, and writing original stories. These and other activities willhelp develop vocabulary, sequencing skills, knowledge and understanding of story structure,creativity, critical thinking and phonological awareness (e.g., rhyming, alliteration, word familygroupings).Children will be grouped by age, and specific age appropriate books and activities will be plannedfor each group.TuesdaysPhysical Fitness, Exercise Fun & Water Play“From birth through age 5, kids’ bodies are growing every day, in every way.
