Hello. My name is Miss Alden and I am a pre K teacher at PS 304.
So today I would like to talk about some of the cotton of and
social skills that we teach kids in our program and um pretty
much how we have fun with it.
So some things that we do um teach them at the very beginning of
the school year and now we were like you guys to maybe teach
your kids before, but if not that's totally okay.
But some of the skills are basic routine transitioning because
we do have our little criers in the beginning of the school year.
So we do want to happy make your kids feel very comfortable, um,
create a comfortable space and just have them be able to
transition a little a lot better throughout the year.
And that's something that definitely sticks with them throughout
the year.
And so some things is the name game songs that we like to teach
kids so that they're comfortable with their teachers and their
peers and how to line up simply how to line up how breakfast
routine, papa hygiene, washing hands.
Um even having them start distributing trays and breakfast and
lunches to their peers. And also circle time.
Morning meeting is very,
very crucial after breakfast we feel like we like to have them
eat, have their minds ready and gathering on the rug for morning
meeting.
So a morning meeting is simple routines like a hello song.
Even maybe going over some letters,
some sounds some numbers counting and simply some,
maybe some videos that will incorporate alphabet recognition and
max.
So usually after a morning meeting we like to also do uh when we
have them transition from the rug to day sensors.
We like to use name tags.
It could either be by first name, last name.
And they get to choose their own senses because we really really
as pre K.
Teachers we really believe and free choice and allowing them to
have choices as to where they like to go.
Um So a lot of our senses um incorporates uh cozy corner or
piece corner like we like to call it um with some writing tools
um A timer to give them time if they feel like they need to self
regulate that those things are accessible to them table.
So we like to use to help incorporate and promote fine motor
skills. The picture grass.
And then we also have the writing center that will also promote
the fine motor in terms of the season cutting and the writing
tools to also promote find find development.
We also have the block centers where they get creative they get
to build, they get to stack blocks.
They get to use Math social studies science.
We also have the science center along as well.
Which science manipulative where they get to explore those
critical thinking. Higher order thinking questions.
We have the sensory table where that's also for fine motor and
also science.
We also have dramatic place which is very popular and we also
have puzzles that also helps with the cotton with skills.
So our ultimate goal for our freaking program is to enhance our
pre K students goals and Cotton and social development.
Um So we would love for you guys to bring your kids over just to
visit the school.
See how you like the program because our program is amazing.
They have tons of fun.
And your kids are gonna also learn a lot because we also do a
lot of site works. We also do a lot of writing.
So those skills will definitely promote your kids to the next
grade where they'll be set. They'll be ready.
We can't wait to get you here soon. Thank you. Bye.
