Dawson Afterschool Program

Earth Day Celebration at Dawson Elementary

Early Childhood staff hosted a Read Across America program at Dawson Elementary for PreK-2nd grade students. Staff engaged students in a fun interactive learning environment to celebrate Dr. Seuss’s birthday.

Last week’s after school program focused on learning about the skeletal system; including our muscles and bones. Activities for this lesson included viewing Dinosaur Train: Journey to Fossil Alley, Sid the Science Kid: Bones Investigation, reading of a book entitled “How Do Dinosaurs Say I Love You”, and completing a science learning craft of creating an x-ray of their hands.

Mississippi Public Broadcasting’s Early Childhood Division facilitated an early childhood professional development workshop for preschool teachers entitled “For the Love of Reading,” on February 4, 2017, in the MPB auditorium.

Children who do not participate in educational enrichment activities during the summer months risk returning to school with an academic loss. The average student can lose up to a month in math and reading skills over their summer break.
