GUIDANCE UNIT ACTIVITIES
In order to support social emotional development, which is very important in the preschool period, our school has a psychologist who works in cooperation with our teachers and parents. Within the scope of the psychologist's work plan, individual meetings are held with each parent at least once a semester with the participation of the psychologist and the class teacher.
These interviews take place on a date determined jointly by the class teacher and the parents. In addition to individual interviews with students, the psychologist also conducts classroom observations and various inventory and test applications. They organize activities in the classrooms according to the needs of the classroom dynamics. All of these activities aim to support the child's social emotional development, language development and cognitive development. It aims to identify and solve the problems that the child may experience in later age groups or that are currently encountered. In line with these goals, it organizes parent meetings and tries to guide parents in cooperation. In addition, it prepares monthly bulletins to raise awareness of families on various issues including the needs of preschool children and delivers them to families. In April and May of each year, the School Readiness Inventory is administered to 5-year-old students who will be in 1st grade next year and their families are informed.
- Social activities that support the curriculum are organized regularly every month at our school. Field trips, theater, project work, laboratory work and kitchen work are carried out in a practical way.
OUR TRIPS
We organize trips to the nearby environment with the permission of our parents in order to enable children to gain experience by doing and experiencing life and their environment, to get to know and examine the world they live in closely and to support their social-emotional skills.
- The activity is evaluated by making preliminary preparations before the trip and short conversations at the end of the trip.
- Children draw pictures about the trip in their observation notebooks.
