Fall into LEARNING....

PumpinPie

We baked Pumpkin Pie and it was so much fun! We discussed why bakers wear aprons and hats, the difference between wet and dry ingredients, and why we measure the ingredients before we add them in. Ask your child what ingredient they got to help with it and if it was wet or dry.

PaintedPony

We are so fortunate to have fun parents who take time out of their busy day to help enhance our learning experience. Georgiana brought her precious pony, Prince to visit St. James! We loved getting to feed Prince treats and we even got to adorn his beautiful white coat with colored paint! What a awesome day to be a PreK student at St. James.

Police Officer

Thank you so much, Mark Neal, from the Texarkana Police Department for coming out to visit our PreK students! What a fun morning!

Handwriting Without Tears

Part of Pre-Ks curriculum is Handwriting Without Tears and we started working in our Kick Start Kindergarten workbook. We teach in the following developmental order: vertical and horizontal, magic C, big and little curves, and diagonals. We begin with capital letters as a group, seperate from lowercase. Instead of teaching 52 letter symbols with different sizes, positions and confusing starting places, we divide and conquer and start with 26. We begin with F & E and the reason we start with those is because of the simplicity with lines and the amount of steps it takes to make the letter.
