Fun & Creativity
Dino Week
Students discover the answer to the question "What does a paleontologist do?" as they excavate simulated dinosaur fossils, match skeletons with models, compare different types of dinosaur teeth and touch a real dinosaur fossil.
Music
Olu Manns of HeartBEAT Afrika:
Shares his high energy and hands-on experience. The kids enjoy the excitement as he involves them all in the tradition of creating a West African Drum Circle.
Movement
Young children need opportunities to move and explore with their bodies. Creative Movement is a great way to channel all of their natural energy, using it to learn while having fun. We do not focus on a particular style of dance; like ballet, tap, or jazz. Instead, Creative Movement teaches the concepts that underlie all dance forms such as; shape, level, speed, size.
This is taught by Erica Steinweg every week
Language
The CH Library visits pre-schools and elementary schools in the Cleveland Heights-University Heights community four times a year to share stories, songs, and books.
Nature
An excellent opportunity for students to experience nature first-hand with the guidance of a naturalist. Naturalists adapt nature center programs to the classroom to help children learn about Northeast Ohio wildlife and their adaptations.
Outside Play
The Fairmount Co-op Preschool has a wonderful playground for our children to use when the weather allows. It is surrounded by a fence and kept up by parents of our students. Currently, the children are able to use a swing set, a miniature house, a slide and a jungle gym.
