                imagination).

                      discussed each day.

                      areas of literacy, math, science, social studies, fine motor, sensory
                      skills, and social skills.

                skills.

                 obstacle courses, running, skipping, galloping, jumping, ball skills, etc.)

*Quiet/Independent Play Time*- Since the full day preschool day is only five hours, an official rest time is not required.  However, the children will have a quiet independent play time after lunch to rest their bodies and regain energy for the remainder of the school day.
