Back-to-school welcome for Pre-K (ages 3–5)
Use this screen on the first day or week of Pre-K to help your young students feel welcome and safe. Project it as they arrive, during circle time, or for morning meetings.
Children see today's date, the time, a warm welcome, and their names. They can help with routines by checking off steps, answer a fun question, and watch their answers appear on the board.
