Butterflies… Care for children 4 - 5 years old
I am in a stimulating and challenging environment. I am learning good manners and how to treat my friends. I follow a consistent schedule and still have transitions between activities. I participate in activities to help me develop physically, emotionally, and intellectually. I am building a positive self-image. I am excited about learning. I am developing my large and small muscles. I am learning self-expression through art and music. I am learning to make my own decisions and am becoming more independent. I can name colors, shapes, and some letters and numbers. I can recognize my full name and write my first name. I can use scissors to cut on straight and curved lines. I am learning my full name, address and phone number in case I get lost. I am practicing how to zip, button, and tie. I am learning about opposite, serration, and positive words. I am starting to see how reading and writing is useful. I am creating a portfolio to show my mommy and daddy what I have learned.
