Had great conversations that dug down to the root cause of challenges we see in PreK. “We can best support the upper grades not by teaching their skills, but by teaching OURS WELL!”. #DallasISDPrek Be on the lookout for intentional learning in a PreK classroom near you!

Our PreK teachers have opportunities this week to attend regional virtual trainings with their PreK Specialists about Math Moments. What a joy hearing PreK teachers discussing numeracy and hearing how they are exposing our youngest learners to intentional math & problem solving! 🤩 #DallasISDPreK @Dallasacademics @disdstemmath @AaronDaffern @DrElenaSHill @MurilloDebbie1

I spy a PreK3 student in the Transitional Writing Stage! Ms. Drpic is intentionally building a strong foundation in literacy, without skipping key concepts and phases! Check out more about these stages in the Appendix of the TEA Guidelines. https://t.co/hz7GIs97VY

My favorite moments from our 2025 PreK Conference this year! TEACHERS sharing with other TEACHERS about how they prioritize play in the classroom through intentional experiences!

Rich conversations with peers are the secret gem to our time together like this! #DallasISDPrek

[Casaundra Torres @TruLittleBytes]

The completion was challenging, filled with incredible pretend and learn centers this year! However, PreK teachers across Dallas emerged as winners today, discovering the endless possibilities of where they can take their students within their classrooms. #DallasISDPreK

Putting systems in place to support planning and prepping for the week are a big part of productive moments of learning for children! Having a space for materials in use during whole group time minimizes wait time and maximizes quality time within their respected stamina time.

Systems and visuals put in place to support and promote the routine of the lesson in whole group while creating a space for children to role play and act out lesson during center time! #DallasISDPreK #PreKPurposefulPlannedPlayful

Opportunities for learning can be found in more than letters and numbers in early childhood. While just as important, experiences that build language and vocabulary teach the whole child and creates a sense of community in the world around them.
