Preschool: Getting to Know Graland Grown-Ups
Preschoolers kicked off the school year by exploring the concept of community. To help them understand who is part of their school world, the class welcomed several visitors to their classroom. Associate Head of Lower School Ms. Parthenia Williams and the Admissions Team were their first guests, giving students a chance to practice introducing themselves, making eye contact, and asking questions.
Later in the week, they met Head of Lower School Ms. Shaun Satterfield. With growing confidence, students took turns asking Ms. Satterfield questions—ranging from “What color is your car?” to “Do you have roller skates at your house?” Other favorites included, “What color is your dog?” “Have you ever been to Mexico?” and “What’s your favorite toy?”
These early experiences helped students build comfort with introductions, practice conversation skills, and make connections with the people who are part of their everyday environment.
