Welcome to Mrs. Slaiwa's full day
preschool classroom webpage!
In my classroom, children are kept busy
throughout the day with a variety of fun and
educationalactivities and projects. The preschoolers
are encouraged to learn by actively seeking and
exploring
centers that interest
them including art,
dramatic
play, blocks, religion, computers,"
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.
