An "average" Wednesday in Pre-Kinder


Ah, childhood! It's the best, especially if you are in pre-kinder! Here are glimpses in the daily activity of a cheerful 5 year old at El Camino Academy.


We start every Spanish class looking at the calendar.

We love to sing in music class!

We have also been learning about different kinds of notes.

In the library we have been learning about the snow-capped mountains in Colombia.

During free choice time we love the playdough!

Free play time in the classroom is so fun!
To practice sharing and being good friends, we used water colors to paint pictures in partners.

We love reading books!
This week we have been learning to write the number 3. And then we drew 3 cheeses on our paper

Sometimes we do music class outside in small groups. Today we played drums to practice our notes.


After all that work, we need a nap!


Oh, and Tuesday was the 100th day of school!

A day in the life of: Pre-kinder

Over the next few months I hope to highlight normal life here in Bogota. To start off, we are going to look through the eyes of a pre-kinder student.

On a normal school day I usually ride a van that picks me up in front of my house. There are lots of other students who ride my van with me, so we have a lot of fun.

When I get to school, I put my back pack next to the door and run outside to play until the bell rings.

I then go into my classroom and start my day. Usually Mrs. Trussell has a fun activity set out on the table for me to play with. Then we sit on the carpet and the student of the week helps with the calendar and weather. Most mornings it is sunny!

We get to go to special classes too- PE, music and library! After those we head to snack time and play outside!

After our recess we go back into the classroom and have math activities, Spanish class and some language activities. We learn about all sorts of things: bugs, the United States, and Easter just to name a few.

We go to lunch, the play outside again if it’s not raining. After lunch is nap time, then my favorite part of the day: free time in centers.

After centers are cleaned, I head back to my van and go home! Phew! I’m tired after a long day at school!
