Welcome everyone to a new school year for you and your child at Zimmer Preschool.
With the new year comes a new classroom, new group of friends, new schedule and a new teacher. With so much newness it takes time and care to settle in. During this transition time the focus is to help each child feel comfortable, safe and loved so their emotional needs are met.
Together we have been busy acclimating ourselves to what it means to be in school. In doing this we are spending time in all the fun places both inside our classroom and outside getting to know the wonderful things there are to do in school.
To help us feel comfortable in our space and to get to know each other we have pictures of our family in our cozy library area of the classroom. The children have access to look at their pictures when they want some comfort. While looking the children like to point out and tell each other the different family members in the photos.
To help us get to know the other children in the class, we have special group meeting times throughout the day where we have a good, relaxed time while being together. This is when we sing different hand motion songs together, songs that have our names inside, read story books and also puppet story telling.
Here are some photos of our first days in school.

We enjoy having Music and Movement
as we make music with the instruments
and move our bodies to the music.
Looking forward to getting to know your child and growing together with them in the year ahead.
