New Beginnings, New Goals for Jewish Preschool on Sardis
By Dedee Goldsmith, executive
director
It is an amazing feeling to
begin the sehool year, to delve
into new goals and new relation
ships. That beginning of the
sehool year exeitement eontinues
on through the High Holidays and
a new Jewish year. All of us at the
Jewish Presehool on Sardis are
exeited to try new things, set new
goals, and start working on im
provements in our sehool and in
our lives.
Our teaehers have set some
goals for their year and I’d love to
share just a few. Two seasoned
teaehers would like to expand
their skills with new ereative ae-
tivities through an exploration of
our eurrieulum and beyond. An
other mentioned improving guitar
skills to play along with the ehil-
dren during the day. One long
time teaeher would like to in-
erease her Hebrew voeabulary by
engaging with our Israeli ehildren,
families, and staff and yet another
would like to attend a Judaie re
lated eonferenee this eoming year.
Several teaehers set goals to max
imize their environment and eon-
tinue to use the elassroom as a
safe plaee to take ehanees and de
velop relationships with ehildren,
families, and one another.
Beyond what is stated as goals,
two of our teaehers (our newest
staff member and our longest
serving teaeher) joined a leader
ship program for early ehildhood
edueators. There they will engage
in self-refleetion, skill develop
ment, and exeeuting their goals
into praetiee. We know they will
exeel in this year-long program
and bring baek information that
will only enhanee the Jewish Pre
sehool on Sardis and the early
ehildhood eommunity as a whole.
The exeitement is palpable and
