Preschool students started their school journey this week with Mrs. Stamm and Mrs. Marshik. During the first few weeks of school, the students learn through modeling, and they practice the many activities needed in a day as a preschooler: walking in a line, playing in the block area, using markers, scissors and paint, and so much more. After each lesson is demonstrated by Mrs. Marshik and Mrs. Stamm, the students have a chance to practice, showing they are "certified" in that area. It really is a big deal to become "glue certified"! The main focus during the first few weeks of school is on building a school family and forming relationships between staff and students and between students themselves. Pioneer preschool staff understand the importance of helping new students feel safe and understand the expectations.
If you have a four-year-old who will enter kindergarten next fall and are interested in enrolling in a year of preschool this year, please call Sarah Funk at 320-468-6458 ext 7.
