Today was Gavin's 1st day of Pre-K. He goes Monday-Friday 9am-noon. There are only 7 kids in his class, and I really like his teacher.
The academic goals for the year are:
- Learn all the letters and the sound they make
- Learn the numbes (at least 1-14)
- Start blending a consanant and vowel together for beginning reading (phonics)
The class will learn 1 letter per week, and each number 1-14 will get 2 weeks of concentration. On Fridays the kids each bring an item for show and tell starting with the letter of the week. 3 of the kids from Gavin class last year, Jorja, Owen, and Kameron, are in his class this year, as well as a neighbor girl of ours, Gemma. I asked Gavin what he played on the playground today. He said princess and dragon. I was glad to find upon further questioning that he was the dragon.
