How Do Specials Come Into Play on an Average Day?
We feel that our specials complement and enhance core subject areas. These classes offer students an opportunity to become even more engaged in learning and to go beyond the daily classroom experience. The PreK3s and PreK4s transition to our movement, music, and science lab and our younger students have those teachers enter their classrooms.
What Specials Are Offered at Bethany School?
MUSIC
Our students enjoy music class once a week. Our music teacher works with our teachers to sing songs that reinforce what they are learning in the classroom. Music helps the body and mind work together. They also get to dance and use musical instruments. Dancing helps to develop motor skills and encourages self-expression.
SCIENCE
Our science program is taught through exploration and discussion and lets our students know that science is a part of their daily lives, and they love it! We encourage them to ask questions and provide them with opportunities for hands-on inquiry.
LIBRARY
We have a librarian that offers a weekly time slot for our classes to come to our newly built library space for story time. The time spent reading fosters critical and creative thinking skills. Our hope to create a love for reading that extends beyond Bethany Preschool.
MOVEMENT
The primary goal of movement at is to develop knowledge, skills, and confidence to help them enjoy a lifetime of healthful physical activity. Our students work on their balance, gross motor skills, and body awareness through a variety of games.
