Ms. Bimala’s UPK class is learning about babies. One of their activities was to answer the question, “How much water can a diaper hold?” UPK students care for their babies in the Dramatic Play & Block Centers. Children drew pictures of baby animals after they read the book “I Was Born a Baby” by Meg Fleming.

The 3K class at All My Children Daycare and Nursery School on 69th Ave. learned all about “My Body Theme.” The kids enjoyed painting outlines of their bodies to see how much they grew. At AMC, we empower each and every student while creating an innovative space for them to learn and explore with all of their senses.

UPK at Rogers Ave. Plant Unit
The UPK classes at Rogers Avenue measured flowers and graphed their favorite flowers during the Plant Unit. Emphasis on “less” and “more” and seeing how the numbers increased the graph line helped to support numerical awareness.
Rogers Ave. Care Unit
The 3-K classes at Rogers Avenue changed their dramatic play into a Veterinarian Hospital during the Care Unit. The children dressed up as veterinarians and pretended to care for animals. Children’s sensitivity and empathy for animals were fostered through caring for the “animals.”
Sutphin Blvd. Water Unit
The Librarian came to Sutphin Blvd and read the book, “Water.” The children were then invited to place droppers in colored water and predict how many drops of water would fill the circles. This helped to expand children’s understanding of amounts, shapes, and the properties of liquid. This also challenged their higher-order thinking with efforts toward effective predictions.
Sutphin “Healthy Smiles” Unit
Healthy Smiles visited Sutphin Blvd. The dentist checked the children’s teeth to ensure they all had healthy smiles. It is important for children to learn about dental care and hygiene.
Mayfield Transformations Unit
During the Transformations Unit, the children released butterflies in Ms. Donna’s UPK classroom at Mayfield AMC.
