Welcome to North Star School!
North Star Pre-School Class
Preschool is the beginning of elementary school. Our Preschool class learns peer
interaction and pre-academic skills with a variety of gross and fine motor turn-taking
games, Handwriting without Tears pre-writing activities, and multi-sensory letter and
number theory activities. Our *center-based play* centers promote sharing and
communication amongst peers. Our Teacher selects activities that are stimulating and
fun!
Pre-School Class Objectives

  • Students discover opposites in our Pre School class through books, songs and
    discussions
  • Learning to pre-write with hands on activities through the use of the

    involve sharing and taking turns, cooperation, listening and negotiation.
