MoreGreen Group
Preschoolers (3 - 4 years)
In the Green Group we work on the development of social skills and independence. We also learn name recognition with name cards, and number recognition through daily calendar work. We do projects and play games together at the tables during Small Group time. At Choice time the children use their name cards to select which table-top activities & games they will participate in. The children also have the opportunity to choose jobs each day (bell ringer, line leader, calendar helper, feed fish, lights on/off, etc.)
