PRE-K RULES FOR GOOD LISTENERS
Mouse says Ears Listening
Owl says Eyes Watching
Monkey says Hands Still
Hippo says Feet Quiet
Alligator says Lips Closed
When we are learning in Pre-K we do not talk. There are times all through the day that we socialize together as a group of friends. If we experience problems in our class an apple is removed from the tree and time out becomes a part of our day. We learn quickly that a beautiful day begins with us when we make good choices!
