HAPPY ANNIVERSARY

I'm sure you've seen the sign, but it bears repeating:

Happy 9th Anniversary Watch Me Grow!  

Here's to many, many more years of growth, education and development of the community's most important natural resource:

our children.

Many thanks to all of the teachers and support staff who continue to make 

this a special place.

Approaches to Learning

I am sure you have noticed this in the hallway....but it might not make complete sense to you, and if you're as frazzled as I am after a day of work, maybe you haven't had the time to even really take it in.  The frames contain the elements from the North Carolina preschool standards; they are called the Approaches to Learning.  They highlight the many different ways that young children learn/experience learning.  Watch Me Grow is committed to enhancing these various approaches as we go through the beginning of the learning process with your child/ren.

Reflection:  Pondering, Processing, and Applying Experiences

Curiosity, Information Seeking, Eagerness

Risk-taking, Problem Solving, Flexibility

Persistence, Attentiveness, Responsibility

Imagination, Creativity, and Invention

Aesthetic Sensibility

Through these Approaches to Learning we incorporate all of the important learning areas:  math, early literacy, social/emotional/cultural studies, science, art/music/drama, fine and gross motor.

Poll

Please take a moment to check out all areas of our site.  You will notice that some are still "under construction", but continue to check on us!  You can also enter your email address in the bar at the right and you will receive an email when the blog has been updated!

Our goal is to have some various polls for you to participate in, such as the one also in the right hand column.

All of us at Watch Me Grow look forward to sharing these new experiences with you and your family!
