Preschool and Pre-K family night activities
Family Night
Ideas for hosting educational Math, Literacy, or Science Family Nights for your preschool, Pre-K, Head Start, or Kindergarten program.
What is a Family Night?
Most schools that receive Title 1 funding are now required to have two or more events per school year that provide educational opportunities for parents and students after school. These events are required to focus on the core subjects of math, science, or literacy.
Are you tired of spending long hours preparing for special events after school hours?
Are you tired of re-inventing the wheel every year?
Could you use a little extra help planning and preparing for your Family Night event?
Fact
Already overburdened teachers are frequently required to spend extra time planning for special events in their nonexistent spare time. There is often little direction or support given in accomplishing this task, making it even more difficult.
Fact
I spent many years planning for these types of events in my own classroom. I know how exhausting it is to teach young children all day and then spend hours of your own time after school trying to re-invent the wheel year after year. The extra time and effort put into monumental tasks such as Family Nights can often lead to teacher burnout.
Good News
Over time, I perfected my “recipe” and weeded out the ideas that didn’t work and improved upon those that did. Even better, I saved everything electronically to save time.
