Mrs. Little’s Pre K Class

Fall Semester 2022

Objective
Students in this class will receive age appropriate instruction that prepares them for a successful
transition to kindergarten. Teachers will work diligently with the students on social, emotional, and
academic needs.

Expectations and Goals

Children will:
● interact with their teachers and peers through adjusting to classroom routines,
following directions, developing independence, self-confidence, and self-efficacy.
● participate in classroom discussion and activities.

Behavior expectations:
● raise their hand and wait to be called on to speak.

Teachers will:
● send home Quick Checks on the 2 days after assessing students.

Grading Criteria:
Pre-K does not follow standard based grading. Students' progress or concerns will be discussed
with parents via phone call or conference. Any remediation will be given on an as needed basis.

Feedback:
Feedback is given to each student verbally throughout the day. Students may also receive stamps,
stickers, and smiley faces drawn directly on their work. Feedback will also be given via Quick
Checks that will go home 2 days after each assessment is completed.

Assessments:
● The Basic Skills Assessment for Kindergarten Readiness Assessment will be given at the
beginning and the end of the semester.
● Quick checks on covered material will be given every 2 weeks on Fridays.

Communication:
Communication will be conducted between teacher and parent via ClassTag. Class Tag is a Free
Parent-Teacher Communication App that connects teachers and families with one easy-to-use app
for all their communication needs. Phone calls, emails are also welcomed. Requests for
conferences and face to face meetings will have to be scheduled.
