On Wednesday, April 9th, the Camden Central School District and Ready 4 Kindergarten held the April meeting of the “Look at Me, I’m Three!” program at Camden Elementary School. Along with their families, 31 children who will be of eligible age to attend Pre-K in Fall 2025 attended. The program is a monthly Pre-K preparation program designed to help students socialize, build relationships with staff, and get acclimated to the school setting ahead of time.
The program began with a mindfulness activity to get our young learners relaxed and focused for story time. Story time for the night included Mrs. Wishy-Washy’s Farm, by Joy Cowley. The book is a silly story about how a cow, pig, and duck didn’t like baths, so they ran away to the city. They realized they were much happier than they realized at the farm.
Following the story, the children completed a themed craft with cow, pig, and duck puppets and a paper bathtub so they can retell the story at home. The evening wrapped up with some dancing to a few children’s favorites by Dr. Jean and Laurie Berkner!
Easter is coming up, and McConnellsville students are going to make another holiday special for their adopted US Army platoon with another care package! During their recess time, students spent time decorating easter eggs to include in it!
