Mountain View Pre-K Counts Has Visitors State Senator Lisa Baker and Representative Sandra Major took time from their busy schedules to visit the Pre-K Counts class at Mountain View on February 19. Twenty eager 4 and 5 year olds went through their regular routines earlier in the morning, anticipating the visitors. When asked about the visit, one of the children announced that a baker was coming to visit. Center time was the order of business when the lawmakers arrived. The students quickly had the adults pressing letter stamps into play dough, fishing at the water table to catch colored magnetic fish, creating art work at the easels, pretending in the housekeeping corner, reading in a comfortable chair in the classroom library, and building on the activity center carpet. With the routines which had been strategically designed and ground rules established since the beginning of school, there was a natural flow of students from one center to the next according to their interests.
State Senator Lisa Baker and Representative Sandra Major show off the books made for them by the students when they visited the Pre-K Counts class at Mountain View. The Pre-K Counts class is funded through a grant by the state as part of providing high quality early leaning to at-risk children. This is the second year Mountain View has received funding, but there is only enough money to cover the costs of one classroom. As Principal Sue Pipitone explained to the lawmakers during their visit, these students represent only about 20% of the children who will enter Kindergarten in the district. Many other children come to school without any preschool experiences. Research does show that children who receive quality early learning before the age of 5 are more likely to succeed as they transition through school and later in life. As a part of their writing experiences, the students wrote a book for both Senator Baker and Representative Major. Each student drew a picture and wrote about what they liked about Pre-K and the cover had pictures of each of the students. The books were presented to the visitors in appreciation of their visit.
