Career Day!

The preschool classroom had loads of fun on Career Day! We were introduced to many different professions such as a lawyer, a geographer, a doctor, and a sailor. Our friends enjoyed every bit of it. The objective for implementing Career Day is introducing the children to many professions and community helpers. On this day, the parents came in and discussed what they did for a living. The kids were able to get a glimpse of careers that they may have never heard before and were very excited. The goal of Career Day was for the children to be able to recognize and understand the importance of what it means to be a community helper. 

Welcome to the Preschool Hospital

The children acted as both doctors and patients as we turned our classroom into a hospital! Through dramatic play such as this, children develop and learn important social, language, motor, and creative thinking skills. The objective of this activity was for the kids to learn how to take turns, have an opportunity to exercise manners, and learn how to communicate and interact effectively with one another. The goal is for  them to be able apply these skills gained through dramatic play to the real world -- the classroom, the home, in public settings and later, in the work world.
