Goals for the Pink Room

Self Expression and Following Directions:
We will encourage your child to express his/her words to teachers as well as to other children. We will assist your child in expressing his/her feelings openly and productively. For example: “I need milk please.” “He hurt me.” “It’s not okay.” “May I have it?” “When you are done, may I have a turn?”

We will also encourage your child to be respectful to other children’s feelings. To give hugs, be friendly, help each other, and make wonderful friendships. We show your child how to get along with words and not hands.

We will develop listening skills along with following directions of every day routines. Your child will be assisted an re-directed in order to adapt to these. We will also do the same with any rules of safety.

We will make your child’s learning experience in the Pink Room fun, loving, nurturing, stimulating, safe and wonderful.

Goals for the Yellow Room

In the Yellow Room we want to help children develop new skills as well as further develop skills they now have. We want to develop social skills, create an environment that fosters independence, and a positive self-esteem. We want to encourage children to think, reason, question, and discover. We also will encourage the Yellow Room children to be creative and have fun! We hope to achieve these goals by providing various activities in the following areas: art, science, math, and language.

Art
The children are given open-ended materials such as paint, glue, paper, crayons, markers, and scissors. The children are encouraged to be creative and expressive in their artwork.

Science
The children use identification, classification, measurement, and water/sand play. They can experience physical changes through baking as well as changes in colors through art projects.

Math
The children experience number concepts through matching, grouping, sorting, classifying, and one-to-one correspondence when counting. They can also experience measurement through baking activities and weight through blocks and art projects.

Language
The children are encouraged throughout the day to expand on their language skills through conversations with their friends, families, and teachers. They are encouraged to discuss their art projects, their role-play in the dramatic play area, and they are encouraged to sing songs and listen during group time. Language skills are also developed through reading, listening to stories and guessing games.
