Hartford PreKindergarten Magnet School (PK3 and PK4), Virtual Open House
February 17, 2022 @ 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Virtual Open House
5:00 pm to 6:00 pm
Special Features and Highlights
Daily read-aloud periods allow for children to gain an understanding of the nuances of new vocabulary words they are learning and for teachers to question children in ways that promote discussion and a deep understanding of the text.
Through creative play, children will have the opportunity to learn about the world around them through observing, questioning, conducting investigations, making predictions, drawing conclusions and communicating findings. Technology such as HATCH (iStart Smart Preschool Computers), interactive electronic wipe-boards and electronic notebooks will serve as tools for enhancing these inquiry skills.
By engaging in this hands-on, innovative approach to learning, students will build connections between what happens in school and what occurs in the real world. The approaches that are utilized with the students will be shared with the students’ families through ongoing parent focused trainings so that the language and the vocabulary development within the school will filter into all elements of the students’ lives outside of school as well.
Special Points
Children will be supported in a language rich environment conducive to both first and second language development. The best practices for promoting bilingualism and biliteracy will be incorporated into daily practices. Opportunities will be created for a two- way bilingual component for Spanish and English Literature chosen for the curriculum will be used in both English and Spanish.
