Today was show and tell and center day in Early Childhood Education for the preschoolers. Each preschooler brought in something to share with their classmates. Today was also center day for the preschoolers where a high school student led an activity. Such a fun day!




Centers are the theme today in Early Childhood Education. Each high school teacher creates a center and they decide what modifications to make over 2 weeks to develop the best activity for the preschoolers. Today’s topic was winter. The preschoolers really enjoyed the centers!!

Today’s lesson in Early Childhood Education was about ice. They watched a video and went through the scholastic that matched the lesson. Morgan Popielarcheck, a Senior from Jamestown, did a movement lesson with the preschoolers. Everyone really enjoyed the lessons today!!

Early Childhood Education high school students have more daily activities for one-on-one time with their preschoolers.

The preschoolers really enjoy their one-on-one time with a high school student. Preschoolers play games, paint, work on their letters, and color. One-on-one time offers more attention, structure, and formal education to each child. Awesome Job Everyone!!

Preschoolers are paired with a high school teacher for one-on-one time in our Early Childhood Education program. Preschoolers learn new words and sounds every day. Today’s dance was the chicken dance. This program is filled with learning and fun!!
