Hello, Preschool Parents and Students! While you are at home during this time, your teacher wants you to continue to learn. Therefore, she has made these learning activities for you to do with your parent or an older brother or sister’s help.

You have one sheet to do per day. Parents, please write the date at the top of the page and save the pages. We will give you more information later as to how the pages will be collected. We are providing each student with over a month’s worth of work (25 days) just in case it is needed.

Remember, these schedules are based on our current schedule at Smackover Preschool. Please make them work for you and your family.

There are so many ways that preschoolers can learn while they are at home. Learning for preschool happens most when children are engaged in activities that encourage language, literacy, gross motor, fine motor, structure, and other developmentally appropriate skills. The schedule and learning activities we have provided here will provide your child with everything needed to help your child learn and make this time at home an enjoyable learning experience. The Smackover Preschool staff want you to know we miss our preschool children terribly and look forward to when we can all be together again. Please be safe! If you need us for anything please call, we will get back to you. Sincerely, Smackover Preschool Staff Call: Teri Philyaw at 870-725-1212
