They bring the book back to our classroom where it is enjoyed by all. Our media specialist reads to the kindergartners and teaches them what power reading has. Music and art are two resources our students enjoy very much. They love to express themselves freely. Music and movement is enjoyed by our kindergartners twice in the resource rotation.
Art is visited for one extended period every twelve day rotation.
The children are exposed to a multitude of media and are often encouraged to enter art contests. Our kindergartners are becoming quite skilled in using computers as a skill reinforcement. The IBM lab is connected to a network allowing the children to work at their own pace with verbal directions given through headphones. Letter, phonics, positional vocabulary, and visual discrimination are only a few of the skills reinforced in the IBM lab. Kid Pix is the software enjoyed in the Mac lab.
