Early Childhood Encounters
|
 Early Childhood Centers are not only 'safe spaces' but teach the children life's lessons. Mrs. Askotzky, Director of the Early Childhood program and her staff have thought long and hard about the value and design of the Centers within each of the classrooms. The centers range from dramatic play center to the writing center, all of which are well- defined spaces where the children can play, create grow and even clean up in a way that teaches them responsibility and ownership. In this print rich, clearly labeled environment we are setting the stage for our students to be learners and explorers for a lifetime. |
| Elementary Insights |
 "When I look up at the board I see that I am very close to getting points and that makes me want to work hard," said Rivka Guttman. Second graders in Rabbi Yachnes' class are eager to earn points and prizes as they become motivated learners. Positive reinforcement is the key said Rabbi Yachnes. The points are given throughout the day for good behavior and class contributions. "Double Points Wednesday is one of the highlights of the week for me and the students," added Rabbi Yachnes.
The fourth and fifth grade girls are illustrators and poets with their first assignment, titled, "Tree House," by Shel Silverstein - They have had a lot of fun exploring their imagination and using writing tools like word clusters and chalk talk to enhance their writing experience. |
