Cheetah Chatter

Young children are naturally drawn to music and movement, so in TK we take advantage of all that energy and enthusiasm! As we introduce nursery rhymes and repetitive texts, students enjoy playing, dancing, and learning. Music promotes development across the domains, too, including cognitive, social-emotional, and motor development. Mrs. Dietz and Mrs. Reyes are both trained in the Education Through Music philosophy as well as Guitars in the Classroom and use music daily to enhance lessons.

The TK SCSB program focuses on Structured Communication Social Behavior. Mrs. Kells and Ms. Bautista’s students show off their Central Cheetah pride by wearing their TK t-shirts every Friday! Our TK classrooms share a recess time, a perfect opportunity to teach students how to count, communicate, share, and play with one another.

The Community Schools Advisory Committee (CSAC) serves as a collaborative team of parents, staff, students, and community members working together to identify and address the needs of our school community. Its purpose is to enhance student success, family engagement, and staff collaboration by fostering meaningful connections and driving positive change.

At our third meeting last week, members reviewed feedback and discussed priorities like advocating for a new playground, supporting teacher literacy training, and fostering belonging. The team explored ideas to improve family engagement, recess behavior, and lunch schedules, emphasizing collaboration, structured activities, and partnerships to ensure lasting progress.

This week we are learning about the letter Ee.

In addition to tracing and matching, we learn through art and hands on activities, including playdough and using the light table.
