letter to parents
Dear Parents of the Teddy Bear Room (4-year old room).
Over the last two centuries, there have been major changes in early childhood education. Children are found to have a more lasting grasp on education, when they are taught in a play based developmentally age appropriate environment. My focus will be the social and emotional aspect of the students. I will make sure each of the students are comfortable and making a connection to the other students in the classroom. Every child will make the transition differently; this might be difficult, at first, for the children that will be their first time in a daycare setting. In order to provide a strong social and emotional focus in my classroom, I will examine each of the student’s needs and desires. While learning in a school/daycare setting there are guidelines that need to be met. It is also important to make sure the children understand the information that I am attempting to teach to them. In doing so, I will have each lesson planned appropriate for 4 year old learning. The classroom will have many different centers of learning, surrounded by a natural “circle time” rug section of the classroom. I will show you some examples of the curriculum areas I plan to create in the classroom through lessons and activities. A Fun activity to involve literacy in the lessons is entitled “Wacky Wednesday”. The activity is derived from the Dr. Seuss book “Wacky Wednesday”. In preparation for the lesson the children will be invited to wear their wackiest outfit to school. The activity will take place in the reading corner of the classroom. The area is stocked with books and cozy bean bag chairs for the children to relax and enjoy the reading of the story. The entire week’s lessons will be based around the letter W. The children will be able to trace W’s at the writing table. We will incorporate silly songs pertaining to the theme, such as “Willaby Wobbly Woo” in the music area. There are many different
