{Music} [Music] Hello and welcome to a day in the life of pre-K in Garland ISD. Pre-K students start off their day in greeting circle which includes the pledges of allegiance, calendar instruction as well as time to set the tone for the day with social-emotional learning.   Next is the morning message. During the morning message, students are taught foundational literacy skills that include singing and speaking the alphabet as well as writing.   Take a look and you will see books all around a  Pre-K classroom. Reading is key to making sure that   students learn the power of a great story, build  their oral language skills, reinforce vocabulary and develop comprehension skills. We like to move it move it in pre-k. Music and movement enhances students' mood and allows for students to take a brain break to prepare for upcoming learning.   Now we are off to small group where students focus on specific skills in a smaller setting.   Every student is seen every day in small group  because of Pre-K paraprofessional supports the   Pre-K teacher all day. Let's put our learning into practice. While small groups are going on practice centers are too and Pre-K we have seven super centers that reinforce the learning. A-B-C 123 come on with me to math.  In the math small group students have hands-on purposeful and relevant daily mathematical investigations and activities.   I feel the need for some steam. Science, technology,  engineering, art and math provides instruction on   the steps that engineers use to work through  problems. This instruction includes questioning,   exploration and lots of problem solving. We've arrived at closing circle which allows students to bring closure to their day by reflecting on their learning. A Pre-K day also includes breakfast, lunch, recess, a cognitive break, aka, nap time, gym and library. These components provide opportunities for movement, rest, discovery and play. In GISD it's always a great day in Pre-K.
