How to Accurately Document Preschool Students’ Growth Young students may repeatedly show progress and regression in skill development, and capturing their learning amid this variability is a challenge.

“In trauma-informed classrooms, some of the most meaningful growth shows up quietly. It may look like a child remaining in the room during circle time instead of running away … That recovery is not a failure, but growth in action,” educator Sarah Fritz writes. 🌱

Children's hands manipulate ziplock bags filled with snow, and two primary colors of paint. One child is poking the snow with one finger, one is bashing it with a fist, and one is scrunching it with all of their fingers. It is a STEAM lesson on matter and primary colour mixing, disguised as goofing around in pre-k.

Presenting: my fave annual lesson, always on a post-snow delayed opening day. It incorporates four senses to observe snow, descriptive language, sensory play, exploration of changes in matter, reasoning, prediction, and mixing primary colors.

I'm very proud of it. 🥹

Graphic of quote from educator Susan Van Zant, Ed. D. saying "High-quality pre-K materials lay the groundwork for literacy and math skills as they are designed to help children recognize letters, sounds, and basic math concepts. When children develop these skills prior to entering kindergarten, they develop the confidence they need to become capable learners and enjoy their school experience."

Using Talk for Writing in Pre-K Encouraging children to ‘write’ their own versions of tales like ‘The Three Little Pigs’ helps them build crucial early literacy skills.

The “Talk for Writing” approach is based on a simple but powerful idea: children need to hear stories and talk about them before they can write. 💬✍️

In her first article for Edutopia, teacher Claire Martin explains what that looks like in pre-K.

Using Questions to Encourage Emergent Learning Understanding the importance of preschool students’ questions is key to guiding their learning experiences and fostering a spirit of inquiry.

“The pedagogy of emergent curriculum is grounded in the idea that when we use the children’s questions to guide their learning experiences, we honor the children’s intrinsic motivation and teach them that curiosity is a meaningful way to explore their world.”

Integrating Spontaneous Learning Into Pre-K Curriculum Teachers can use moments when children express curiosity as entry points to foster deep learning within planned lessons.

“Moments like a fallen tower, a discovered worm, or a shared conflict are already meaningful for children,” educator Cecilia Cabrera Martirena says. “They do not need to be made valuable; they need to be seen.” 👓
