Click for big pictureCherrydale Elementary School is proud to have two 4-K classes.  4-K is a full day, needs based program for children who turn four years old on/before September 1.  All children who apply by the May 7 deadline are screened for qualification and placed in the nearest 4-K program to their residence.  Latecomers are then placed in any remaining spots throughout the district.Click for big picture  4-K is all about pre-readiness skills necessary for Language Art and Math and about social and developmental skills necessary for success in school.  Certified teachers and assistants are trained in the High Scope Curriculum Program and lead the children in large and small groups each day to Plan-Do-Review.  Learning Centers (House, Blocks, Books, Art, Toys and Games, Writing, Computer and more) are the heart of the program as children Plan what to do each day in centers, go to the centers and Do what they chose and then Review what they've done as come back to the large group.  Each day also includes Breakfast, Lunch, Rest Time and Outdoor Playtime.  When children complete the 4-K program and move into the 5-K Kindergarten, they are usually much better prepared for success with many of them reading by spring of the 5-K year.  What an opportunity!!  Don't miss out on it if you have an upcoming 4-K child! ~ Linda Linder, 4K teacher.
