Jump Start is designed to be a bridge between preschool and kindergarten.  The children will encounter developmentally appropriate curriculum that encourages social and emotional growth.  The students will work on developing skills such as self confidence and cooperation.  Early academic skills will also be taught.  The students will grow in their ability to communicate, expressing ideas and thoughts.  They will be exposed to a variety of appropriate and engaging literature.  Hands-On activities are a priority and the children will learn as they are playing and interacting a variety of material alongside their peers.  My wish is that a love of learning is instilled in each child.

Each month the students will receive a reading log and a homework calendar.  The students, with the help of their parents, will fill out the sheets and return them at the end of the month.

  

READING LOG-Students will listen to a story then color in the object on the page

HOMEWORK CALENDAR-Parents will help the students choose appropriate activities for the student and parents to complete together.  Many are activities and do not produce evidence of completing the task.  Once the student completes a task he/she child can color in the square explaining the activity.

 

When the students return the completed pages they will earn a reward.

Homework is encouraged as an opportunity for students and parents to work together and expand the child's knowledge and experiences.
