Our classroom is our
world, and the world
is our classroom.
We have storytime in the
library and in the woods.
We make pies in our mud
kitchen and grow plants
from seeds. We visit farms
and nature centers, and
then make and care for bird
feeders on campus.
IMAGINE
MISSION: We are dedicated to
providing a joyful and supportive
learning environment for the
development of excellence in each of
us. It starts with joy.
When children make the transition
from play-based preschool to more
formalized instruction in kindergarten,
play is still a critically important part of
their day. Barnesville provides
kindergartners ample time and space to
move, explore, and play, inside and
outside the classroom.
Some children jump into academics
with ease, while others need the extra
time and attention that experienced
teachers and small classes can provide.
Children also start kindergarten with
different levels of physical, social, and
emotional maturity. Kindness and
cooperation are both daily expectations
and year-long goals in Barnesville's
kindergarten classroom community.
During the year, students learn to
negotiate, cooperate, compromise, and
empathize.
JOY. SUPPORT. EXCELLENCE.
Barnesville's kindergarten program
nurtures each child's natural curiosity,
tapping into the power of imagination to
foster a love of learning.
Recess Rules!
Kindergar ten has recess and
outdoor center-time three
times each day. We go
outside as often as possible,
including playing in the snow.
We've also been known to
build snow volcanoes!
