Supporting PreK Students

Through the Tools of the Mind program PreK students are learning how to actively engage in play by using real life environments, like the doctor's office and restaurants.  In the library I have tried to support what  they are learning in their class by reading stories about these environments.  This month Ms. Singleton's students are learning about restaurants so naturally I chose to read Manners at the Table by Carrie Finn.  Together we  created a list of good manners that should be used at a restaurant.  We also discuss all the different things we would find in a restaurant.   After learning about what belongs in a restaurant, PreK students used the "Nina Loves to Name Things" website to drag restaurant items into a box.  They were amazed to see how they were able to move the items just by using their finger.
