Pre-K Friends

What are our friends in Pre-K up to?

They are working on writing their numbers with the wet/dry slates! They learn how to write from top to bottom with a smiley face to indicate where to start. Ms. Shanice teaches how to write with short lines and long lines. To reinforce how to write the number, they can use the sponge to go back over the number and it won't erase!

They are also understanding that learning is fun, with a little bit of magic:)
