Welcome to
Sandoval
Pre-Kindergarten!
We're
excited for another year of Pre-K to
begin. You will find us in the portable building on the south side of the
elementary school. Pre-K, along with the Early Childhood class, is
housed there. Our school calendar will coincide with the Sandoval Elementary
School once we begin class. Your child's teachers are Michelle Landreth
and Lisa Erlinger. We are excited to see our returning students and to get to
know our new students and their families! If you have any questions
for me please call 247-8807. I'm available between 11-12 or 3-4 during
school hours. You may also contact me through e-mail. My e-mail
address is mlandreth4@hotmail.com
SCREENING PROCESS
To enroll your child in Pre-K
he/she must be screened. The screening process uses a tool that focuses on
the following developmental areas: social, fine motor, language, and gross
motor. After assessing the developmental screening results and parent
questionnaire, the information will be reviewed by the Pre-K staff to determine
eligibility for the program. You will be contacted by the beginning of the
school year. You may call 247-3450 if you have questions about enrollment.
We offer a half day program which runs Monday through Friday. The morning
class hours are 8:30-11:00 and the afternoon class hours are 12:30-3:00.
There is no fee to attend the program.
Pre-K
Curriculum
Your child
will be engaging in hands-on activities on a daily basis. They will be
given the opportunity to "play" in different learning centers as well
as taking part in group activities. They will be encouraged to visit the
various learning centers such as blocks, manipulatives, dramatic play area,
science, library, art/writing, math, sensory table and music. At these
centers the children will question and observe what is going on around them
while Ms. Lisa and I serve as facilitators and move through out the classroom
joining in play and conducting small group activities. We offer a
play-based curriculum. Although you may think your child is just playing,
children at this age learn through their play!!
PARENT
INVOLVEMENT
Our curriculum also
extends to the whole family. Parent involvement is a key component
to this program as our staff recognize parents as the primary educator of their
children. First, we want your help in determining what's best for your
child's growth and development. Second, we will offer several
opportunities for parent involvement such as helping with homework each week,
attending PTO meetings, field trips, home visits, volunteering, parental
trainings and monthly parent/child activities offered throughout the year.
