WHERE LEARNING IS FUN! ACLGAESSS 3E-4S LOWERCASE | AGES 3-4 2X/WEEK 3HR/CLASS In our three-year-old class, a lot of emphasis is placed on alphabet letters and their sounds. Alphabet letters are not taught in alphabetical order, but in order of ease of identification according to shape and sound. Basic mathematical concepts and math manipulative such as linking cubes are used. Letter writing, particularly each name writing will be practiced and small motor skill exercises will be emphasized in order to help them with cutting and handwriting. These will be done on a daily basis. Singing songs and having each child share with the class every day helps to encourage a fun learning environment and helps raise social skills and a child’s ability to express themselves in a group setting.

We give out weekly readers to all the four-year-old students every Monday, and have them return them every Friday. These readers should be practiced every night with parents for a minimum of five minutes.
