Pre-K Celebration At Mountain View The twenty Pre-K Counts students at Mountain View Elementary School participated in lots of activities to celebrate their 100th day of school. They learned 100 day songs and read 100 day books. Their favorite was 100Hungry Ants. They also had an assignment to work with their families at home which was making a collection of 100 items. Some of the items they collected were rocks, straws, pretzels, noodles, sunflower seeds, pennies and candy. The students made a bulletin board titled “Springing into Spring 100 Days Smarter.” They drew on either a flower or a rain drop something that they learned in Pre-K in the first 100 days! Andre Wiggins said, “I learned about Dr. Seuss and I learned how to write my name.” Collin Saam said, “I learned my numbers! I can count up to 100!” Maressa Salanksy said, “I learned a lot of songs at circle time.” Several students said they learned their ABC’s. The highlight of the actual 100th day, March 25, was a visit from Penelope the Penguin. Filled with enthusiasm, Penelope actively engaged the 19 very excited four and five year olds. She introduced and read the PA One book for 2009, If You Were a Penguin by Wendell and Florence Minor. She then autographed and presented individual copies to each of the students to take home. A copy of the book in the big book format will be added to the classroom library.
Penelope the Penguin visits the Pre-K Counts class at Mountain View to read and distribute copies of the PA One book. Even though the students were sure Penelope wasn’t a real penguin, they played along with the character (retired teacher, Miss Reynolds) and thoroughly enjoyed the visit. A treat of homemade penguin-shaped sugar cookies were left for the students’ afternoon snack. Pennsylvania Pre-K Counts, established by the Pennsylvania Department of Education, is designed to bring quality pre-kindergarten programs to 3 and 4 year olds in Pennsylvania who have an economic need, a language need or a cultural or special need. The program is designed to prepare children for reading and math, as well as for paying attention, following directions and getting along with others. Pre-kindergarten gives children a chance to learn, become excited about school and be better students who are prepared for kindergarten.
