Welcome to Ms. Capalbo's full day
preschool classroom webpage!
 
   In my classroom, children are kept busy throughout the day with a variety of fun and educational activities and projects. The preschoolers are encouraged to learn by actively seeking and exploring centers that interest
them including music, art, dramatic play," reading" and
writing. The students also participate in many activities
  throughout the day to strengthen fine and  gross
motor development.   In addition, the preschoolers learn
  important life skills to help them to become more
independent as they begin their school experience.
