re-School Front and Center Pulaski Academy prides itself with an education system that is second to none. Education at P.A. does not begin in kindergarten, but in the three and four year old preschool classes. These classes prepare the students for all the studying, learning, and enjoyment that they will experience later in their schooling. One of the aspects of the preschool classes that made them so special was a program called Center Time. Every morning ofthe school year, the first thirty minutes of class were devoted to Center Time. This program consisted of designated play areas in the classroom, each area teaching a different lesson. The preschoolers could choose from centers ranging from arts and crafts, to sandboxes and play houses. The centers not only served to entertain as well as educate the students, but the center time proved to be vital for the teachers. They utilized the time to take the roll, and review their lesson plans. I really value the time because it allows me to do my morning jobs while teaching them at the same time, said Mrs. Morris, the four year old teacher. The centers taught the students how to share with othersas well as how to relate with each other. Center Time also served as a interesting way ' to assimilate the preschoolers to the structure of classrooms. Their time spent, and the lessons learned in the preschool rooms will be remembered later in their continuation of their education at P.A. Counting on it. Sandra Oliver learns to count by using the popsicle sticks in the main center.
