Preschool students in Ms. Andrea’s and Ms. Janie’s classroom at Crab Orchard Elementary participated in many activities each day this past school year. Students were able to choose among art, playing with blocks or table toys, science activities, dancing to music, looking at books, or pretend housekeeping. Children were always able to switch activities if they preferred another challenge. The children were encouraged to talk about an idea or experience they wanted to share with others, and each day they had time to work in a small group with other children.
