GOALS
Our goal is pre-K preparation with an emphasis on making learning fun. I feel it is important to make the first school environment an enjoyable one so students will develop a love for school and learning. Songs, flannel board stories, games, movement activities, art, and books are all used to accomplish these goals.
Pre-academic goals: lining up, proper scissor and pencil grip, appropriate use of crayons and art supplies, and exhibiting appropriate social skills, such as kindness, sharing, and taking responsibility for oneself. Academic goals: letter identification and letter sounds (we use Zoo Phonics), speaking in front of a group, listening to and discussing a story, and beginning number skills. Students who are capable of doing so are encouraged to go beyond the basics. |
THE TEACHER
Teachers: Mrs. Judy Shattuck and Mrs. Bonnie Askeland
Judy: After retiring from a 25 year teaching career with Great Falls Public Schools, I decided I was not ready to stop working with children and was thrilled to find a position with Redeemer Preschool in September 2015. Having worked with primary children for my entire career, with four years in kindergarten, helped make me aware of what children need to know when entering kindergarten. It is a joy for me to watch them grow and learn while still having fun. Bonnie: I spent many years as an aide at Valley View Elementary School. I love working with children and helping them learn the skills they will need as they enter elementary school. |
