Focus in the Dreamer Classroom
Focus in the Dreamer Classroom
Your Dreamer is are encouraged to explore and discover new ways of learning every day. Dreamers begin to recognize letters of the alphabet through song, as well as through reciting other short songs and nursery rhymes. Basic vocabulary, shapes, and colors are covered at circle time daily. Teachers reinforce counting to 10, naming body parts and family members, as well as using art projects to engage the children in monthly themes.
