Welcome to “Happenings in the PreK Classroom!” Every week, I’ll be sharing real moments from our classroom that show how learning comes to life through play, creativity, and hands-on experiences.
From literacy games to building with blocks and sensory exploration and a little bit of STEAM- these snapshots give you a peek into what your child might experience in a PreK setting. There is so much more happening behind the crayons, sand, and magnet letters… and I’m excited to share it with you!
Wondering how you own PreK child is developing in key areas like communication, problem-solving, and social skills?

STEAM in the Classroom: Week of March 24
This week we explored hands-on learning with Beebots and LEGO STEAM Park! Our learners used early math, technology, and teamwork while building, creating, and problem-solving through play.
From coding robots to constructing a theme park with LEGO bricks, our PreK class practiced real-world thinking in a playful, joyful way. This is how we bring STEAM to life—where early learners become confident thinkers, builders, and friends.

Alphabet Bingo
Students practiced identifying letters and matching sounds in a fun, turn-taking game.
Writing Your Name
The PreK learner is building confidence, one letter at a time. First, she used magnetic letters to build her name, then carefully copied each letter on the whiteboard.
This isn’t just handwriting practice- it’s name recognition, fine motor development, and a BIG Boost of confidence.
Magnetic Letter Name Building
Students used dry erase marker to write the letter in their names-boosting both pre-writing skills and self-esteem.
Literacy Learning
Little hands at work—selecting letters to build big literacy skills!

Alphabet Bingo is more than a game- it’s fun, engaging way to build letter recognition and beginning sounds.
You’ll hear me asking, “What letter is this?” and “What sound does it make?”- because every question opens the door to confident learning.
Beginning Sound Exploration
As each letter is called, students practice matching sound to visuals- foundational phonics in actions.
