Welcome to Building Blocks Preschool! This page will help answer any questions you may have regarding policies, curriculum, parent involvement, etc at our preschool. We strive to make sure every child is learning in a positive environment where they can feel successful. When students are successful they will love learning and they carry that love of learning into their older school years. So let’s get started with what we will focus on in class.

3-Year-Old Curriculum

Language arts- The 3 year old class will be learning letters and sounds. We will sing alphabet songs A LOT as we play games and explore letters. The goal is that every 3 year old will finish the year knowing every letter (capital and lower case) as well as the letter sound.* Math- The 3 year old class will be working on counting to 20 and recognizing single digit numbers. The goal is that all 3 year olds will be able to count without help to 20 with no mistakes and be able to identify digits 0-9.

4-Year-Old Curriculum

Language arts- The four year old class will be learning to read! The goal is that all 4 years will be able to read simple cvc words (ex: cat, bib, red) by the end of the year as well as a few high frequency words (ex: the, is). This will allow them to be reading beginner book.* Math- The goals for the 4 year old class will be counting to 50, as well as counting by tens to 100. They will also be able to write single digits 0-9 and recognize/identify numbers 0-20. If a student is progressing faster and wants to do more, then we can and will do more. I track progress every day as we work together and if they are excelling then we will provide more challenging goals to keep them progressing. In other words, we don’t stop progressing if your child reaches the goal early.

3 and 4-Year-Old Curriculum

Science- we will be exploring our world. We will be explore, dinosaurs, building, nature, animals, and more thought out the year. We will have filed trips to support each month’s science theme (The theme for the month will come in the calendar which will be sent home via email or in a backpack at the end of the previous month.) Show and tell- Show and tell will be each Monday. It will connect to either the theme for the month or a letter we are working on that day. What type of item to bring will be posted on the monthly calendar. Art and Music- We will be using art and music everyday as we learn and practice out other curriculums. We will have puppet shows and story theaters as well as many other activities to explore the arts. We will also have several “just for fun” art projects each month like painting or cutting and gluing crafts. During those art projects I will be focused on teaching motor skills such as holding the pencils correctly and cutting with the scissors correctly.
