PreK Block

Smithfield Elementary Head Start

Pre-K Block was my first experience in the PDS program where I was placed in a Preschool setting one day a week. During my time there I implemented a two-week curriculum unit on Winter. I created hands-on lessons and activities for each day I was there including, morning meeting, math, science, song and fingerplay, physical education, and art. My partner and I created a hot chocolate themed dramatic play are, where we included materials and props for the students to engage with. This experience allowed me to assist children with their social skills, fine motor and gross skills, and their social-emotional learning to help them grow.

Prior to PreK Block, I participated in a two week program where I was placed in a classroom in the urban communities of Philadelphia. During my time here, I learned about Philadelphia's teacher/community relationships, worked closely with my cooperating teacher and community members, co-taught with my cooperating teacher, created positive relationships with the students, attended professional development seminars, and participated in community projects. Overall, I gained hands-on experiences being in an inner-city classroom.
