Today we held our 3- and 4-Year-Old Development Screening. We enjoyed meeting with our youngest learners and their families. Children who attended the screening received a Literacy Bag filled with simple ideas and activities families can use at home to help prepare children for preschool and kindergarten. Reading together, talking and building language, practicing with crayons, and learning to use scissors appropriately are all great ways to build important early learning skills. A special thank-you to our FACS Leadership Class for helping assemble the literacy bags and their help with screening today. We appreciate our families’ partnership in preparing our youngest learners for success!

In 2000, teacher Charles Best founded DonorsChoose to help teachers access classroom materials without paying out of pocket. Today, teachers can post classroom projects and connect with individuals and companies willing to help fund them. Elkton Elementary teachers have benefited from DonorsChoose again this year. Mrs. Anderson has received funding for classroom projects and new materials to support student learning. Students received STEM Challenge Kits that present a variety of challenges encouraging creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, and perseverance. Students used kits to explore cause and effect. They designed and built their own chain reactions, experimenting with how different objects and actions could work together to create movement. Students also received social studies books that align with classroom standards and curriculum. Most recently, students used books about Ancient China to build background knowledge and make connections to their learning. Interested in supporting our teachers? Visit https://www.donorschoose.org/ to see how you can help fund classroom projects.
