The Early Childhood classes, kindergarten classes, and mentoring program have begun the school year with a variety of learning activities.
The Early Childhood and kindergarten classes viewed a demonstration by the Girard Fire Department during the first week of October in honor of Fire Prevention Week. Students observed several fire trucks and learned important safety procedures.
Instructor Sherry Jagels has 12 children enrolled in the morning session and 11 in the afternoon session of the Early Childhood Development program. Their lessons have focused on colors, shapes, and fall themes, and students take daily walks to observe nature and learn about fall.
Her classes also studied the colors blue, yellow, brown, green, and purple and learned about pumpkins.
This week the theme will be Halloween, and her classes will study the color black, talk about bats and spiders, and end the week with a Spooky Walk.
Kindergarten teachers started the year with studies on letters and sounds, rhyming words, nursery rhymes, shapes, numbers, and sorting and patterning skills. Themes include apples, fall, and fire safety.
