Usher yeah thanks for accepting the invitation I'm from pre-school to elementary school all right so freaking wanted to touch on what will feel the same of the continuity of our overall program from preschool to are class sizes typically range from that 18 to 22 are there self-contained meaning some Elementary pass analyze this teacher from that where are teachers teach everything are we are still whole Child Focus meeting we're looking at the development but also social emotional skills and your child we are assessing all of those earrings rabbit everyday you still continue to and focus heavily on creating to our language with how we interact with students are perceptions of making sure they feel capable significance we have a assessment that have died her instructions and check progress for your children we have standards and benchmarks and Milestones if I just came through 5 everybody gets to go to specialist in elementary we have seven specialist art music Sia Library so everybody will have that opportunity those are monthly rotation so they will be with one specialist for a full month the daily schedule for elementary is 8:30 to 3 and we still offer after school Chums and enrichment opportunity do all those things used to be K1 together first grade second and third and fourth and fifth this last week piloted a program of straight K after lots of conversation with her kindergarten for K-12 teachers about the significance of having because she is told in her transitioning how is that for a year and then this year is it side by side we still have to come see Sally multi-age there's so much Beauty to multi-age we want our students to have that experience as well and so our first and second grade children are together and forth and then we really wanted to believe value these were to book in of our program intentional about what they each offer because they're both transition there's a lot of narrative I'll have a lot of narrative from discomfort summarize I want to talk about the classroom environment I get it just like preschools incredibly important just take your eyes to see Waze preparation the communication piece will also be very similar to preschool you'll still receive a Weekly Newsletter The Chi-Lites what's happening this afternoon if your thighs we will still have our conference this just like you didn't support place for students who were having some trouble spots regardless of the area if you have plans in place as a as a teen on this side is a typical kindergarten daily schedule what I wanted to highlight here though that all of these components that are in Black are the same components if you were stepping into a fourth grade classroom the second grade class these are the kindergarten ones and just the only difference would be the content would be deeper as they get older and this is the order of when things are happening is up to me but I want to come and go through quickly what the different components and it says children are beginning to gather at school and come in from carpool everyone's coming in a little bit different time so they the room different provocations from follow routine and then the teachers will call them together for a morning meeting and during morning meeting and they will have a share time am I going to need in your family like a new baby or attempt to share some kind of activity and community the letter will be on the board sharing about what their day will look like solar lights especially and then we also use this time for some sdl or social mode 4 * our program when you have for kindergarteners and they will head outside and then we'll move into a I'm going to come back to literacy and dated but it does involve assessing your children individually so we know where they are and how everyday witch house strategy centers that are set up for Twitter so those are the components of literacy lunch at a quiet time to pick yourself up for heading into it measurement and data and then I will use the everyday math program from kindergarten all the way through 15 spiral perm but then you might move on to me and then we may be approaching in a different way or at a new piece growing in and that's true in all of our work at 10:40 to it that we constantly visit and build in this program after every unit studies in practice it is a one-on-one verbal assessment there is always some holder construction where would we do what we've been learning and then introducing Concepts before turning them loose for practice and then coming back and sharing new strategies what we've learned about this problem inquiry-based learning process and project this is theme bass but it is about Focus the process of learning things you're interested that are typically leads to a science or social studies Avenue for the children have lots of boys in one dose bye bye type of teachers in developing Hutchins what weekend fairy tales and comparing and contrasting fairy tales from a cultural aspect sometimes we call it roses and Thorns what went really well for you and what were some of the thorny moments and how can we talk to you so that way children are leaving that they're in a good place so the morning me for help to check the pulse of the Stars feeling better and then after they're closing it is funny kindergarten that's generally speaking a different structure of a typical day but again all those components so I said I'm coming back on Thursday and the reason why is because the question I get asked the most is when will my child learn how to read or how they learned to really give some details so this chart here is from the national reading panel and the national reading panel tells us what we're supposed to teach no matter where you go to school for so you have fluency vocabulary development phonemic awareness and phonics and all these little kindergarten our workers mostly around foundation and there are two there are two instructional Pathways that you can use for that here at JB's. One is structured literacy sometimes referred to as the science of reading if you are interested around almost there. once you have more automaticity with the phonemic awareness and phonics then you can move into leveled literacy which is a book that match her reading your becoming readers and then have a little bit more richness to the content and therefore can build your fluency or rate of reading expression build your vocabulary and then get to be for comprehension but we're going to focus a little bit more on the structure literacy so before we get into the work of literacy we want to know about you so at the beginning of the school 4 everybody has to have this solidified the areas we want to know of so concept of Prince Do they have any sense of how to fold sounds great faces but actually sometimes with us other than that we assess literally being able to identify or name uppercase pain to the uppercase and lowercase handedness established by handedness left-handedness what surface will grab a white kind of pressure do they use and the game can they track on but at the beginning of the year the child comes in already and in that text assessment it's worn out as well and incomprehension composite and then we do also writing assessment again cover for sanitation do they use on paper I can leave after a generic question to everybody telling one something you did this, do they have any letters or are they Risk Takers and ready to try out some more but it's all really informative I also want to say about writing kindergarteners typically will always use and in their beginning line I just want you to know that we start with their names but just know that that's very for free so along with the structured literacy like I said these are the foundational skills and it's usually around they are different they are commonly thought of it as being one in the same and different words rafting or a letter symbol visual understanding and auditory sound phonemic awareness is not on it although they are often confused Sonic's referred to letter sound relationship during systematic phonics instruction letter combinations phonics instruction is both Visual and auditory at students work with can you make awareness and phonics are both absolutely but it is important to understand phonemic awareness and phonics enjoy a typical relationship however if a child is laughing but it's instruction Arena where the training provides the foundation on which phonics instruction to children need solid phonemic awareness training for it to be effective if you receive your head rotate for miracle learning curriculum after the first weeks of school okay so I know this evening Hutchinson sounds blending words and then sometimes will start with compound word earthworm in prison together job lots of practice for these windows and then we also look at everything sounds Keith dead as a good time help at full to get home deleting word snowball without all this snow feature without her speech and put in pan adding we're going to do a little they might have to share but it don't need to take a baggie on the floor crying or use this bouquet for put a couple bags in there this is or if you open your phone so you don't have to but if you send it to me so I'm okay so this is what we would say to your children I want to use these blocks that you have to show how many sound I make and what does it sound like so if I said you sound by the way I think your style if I said Tattoo Sound if I said Rebounderz time for the same one you're trying to do that how do you work babe all right away we found the same color ready Digraph discrimination repels all different sound for they shall be different colors and we also use Powell's in this exercise so it was my pain have they found a little bit hard working harder to distinguish I'll be different okay so now we're going to manipulate sometimes we're going to move them around and you're going to put them in the order and how I say it I'm going to put mine backwards so it's correct so I want to show you this is probably just watching right now and I want to say stuff so I'm is this says and now I wanted to say and I wanted to say is this sentence does might even after child what I doing this If I Stay if that says f where you hear that now is that says ES show me is that better show me is that says show me if that says pots show me if that says show me that part is really kindergarten alright so in structured literacy besides Angel where is Hanukkah also incredibly important visual mess with pony easier to do this because I've been drinking but in the first picture and then these are just a few examples so they aren't I can't do what they're supposed to this is pretty unstructured bottom online paper yet but this is just getting playful with us for me and this one the first pictures with sound but again super-quartz really sorting pictures of where they belong and because and then we spent about a month category and then he might even have a writing prompt for drawing two examples Medical read-aloud book and we really try to create an environment that's very risk-free and space as they're developing their writing work so we talked about the three ways of reading and then so you can fight symbols which is the beginnings of the filing Richard writing so that's why illustrating pretty that's what racing they might get to a stage where they will have it then we will write it and then they will copy it under it so that's another step and then age group riding along with her read aloud mechanics have already talked about the spacing punctuation spelling in letter formation that is all embedded into our lives we are also required on to so they will have very purposeful writing that have that is sort of the word work the reading and writing work of literacy these are just a few samples I hear this child is I saw my cousin another one in the fall I like to know what I really love about this piece is that this house and so every letter sound may not be phonetically readable to us and no word spacing yet but you also notice that it's mostly but I did see some insertion of bowels in with consonance and fairly decent letter for me I like to jump in leaf pile but you can see there's still a case but there's the word spacing and there is a lowercase letters. well we would be remiss if we didn't talk so this so we also so I'm in the next bills into some exercises and activities we do social awareness but those two together are really are one of the ways to really help kindergarteners and we use this all the way through Elementary then start silly self-awareness and management now the ultimate every even adult video so call presentation because I feel like oh my God my son ready for kindergarten have I have we as a family leaven in the right direction and still what I'm wondering is I think we kind of raised him to not focus on academics right now and the majority of his time has been play Young you could do letters and numbers very well and it's all gone completely all gone now he hasn't focused on now he's aroused and running and doing more activities like that has moved away from being I'm interested in that and I'm wondering if you think that also doesn't color it and book it book and I'm just wondering if you I've noticed that as well and I think that and he's going to be in school for much of and so doesn't have much interest in coloring or or drawing and I think what I'm getting them at a lot of that is practice right and so that development I think that there's something that you know as parents we should be doing to get them ready is there a Subway that we can get them development ready for this large change to work academic Focus very creative but now he just making up stuff and so what I'm wondering is back so that it's not such a big ship Elementary is it a more structured from preschool that's why I play and research base play is such a to build stamina I want to really emphasize what I'm here today so that's why I I feel a bit more today we don't have it's not bad at all I moved from the state to another space in this building so we are very detailed and should there be a shift to help get wet that's what I've done here to put the college textbooks get outside and enjoy yourself I thought the first.. Kindergarten how we as parents learn child or do we wait until the progress report the child would have a public school so that's it right there and I think Republic schools are really berries from school I think you must lie about that slowness and just like kind of letting the child late I'm guessing. they are 3 minutes behind anybody else wonderful Donnington grade Middle School directors constantly call us and say here's what we love about your students because but what I hear from them a little bit more important you're sharing information and somebody Barbie cars with the lion. the video on the website where we actually have a panel discussion with parents of Bruce Willis and ask them what their experiences their Impressions were from their from their children's perspective they found us a variety of schools and they spoke about about how they had transitioned from chance into I want a different environment one thing I can tell you that I heard from all of this parents but it's that for the word self-advocates and if I think it's really important I don't have to call a teacher intervene on their behalf they really believe that their teachers are there to support them and be available to help how to do things better we can pull that video up and share with you. what time is it we have a few support plan in system in place it is a secured systems are one two and three tier one or combination that we might make in the classroom that might be their child have accommodation for child during work time this comes from pokeworld but we have purchased them on our own so just the texture of sitting on this cushion of the child at 10 R1 all trained and Fel work that happened in the classroom . that's beyond our training course so that would be a sample working with Kathy to support where they would work with her maybe for 30 minutes every day at the painting with it we're working on it again. so that could be more than 10 I know that we we have two side-by-side corporate for teachers to Annie's classroom Lindsay has probably been here the longest I think 13 years she's also taught fifth grade she taught preschool over the years thinkayta I don't have a lot of turnover clearing height I'm surprised that your public speaking but I think that's really really important for whatever occupation you land in because you need to have it takes a lot of practice it's one of the biggest fears public speaking pure and social evaluation and it's important for any occupation I think that that they let you have and it's amazing because if I remember going back only after people shy away and avoid it yeah we are at school of asking you to relive their responses from children we want them to use their voice the component of the later parts of Elementary and I know who he may want to see you a little bit more find a watch party
