K EXTENSION
Wondrous Wednesdays
at Kindergarten Extension MAP @ Wheelock
January marks the start of all things new. As people make resolutions and are off to a new start, here at MAP we are rolling out a brand new program option at the MAP K-Ext Wheelock site.
Beginning in the New Year and continuing through May we will be offering three consecutive six week Clubs on Wednesdays for Kindergarten children. Each Club will have its’ own exciting, fun filled theme. We’ll be kicking this off with our Cooking Around the Clock Club!
Now is the perfect time to experience all the great things happening at the MAP K-Extension Wheelock site! Ask any parent of a MAPster or better yet, ask a MAPster! MAP is a wonderful place to have fun, make friends, develop social skills, foster independence and learn, all in a safe and nurturing environment.
Mark your calendars now and save the dates:

The MAP AM K-Extension Program complements the afternoon kindergarten session. MAP opens at 8:30 a.m. Children are dropped off at MAP in the morning by their families, and signed in. Children have the opportunity for free play in the room choosing from the computers, dramatic play, blocks, dolls, games, recycle art and the book area.
Free play is followed by meeting time. During this time we come together and share stories or things that might be going on in the children’s lives. This is also a time when the teachers can make announcements as well as assign the daily jobs to the children.
After meeting we go outside. The children can choose from an organized game or make one up. In the A.M MAP we use the Wheelock playground since the 2nd and 3rd graders are in their classes. Please make sure that your child has shoes that he or she can run around in, because we do a lot of that here! After outside free play the children come inside for group time.
Group Time is a theme based time together for fun and learning. Teachers plan themes that are interesting, and that appeal to the children. After group there is a project, activity, game, or song that goes along with the theme and that day’s learning. It could be cooking, arts & crafts, a game, science experiments, drama, sports, magic, creative movement, etc...
Lunch follows group. All children bring their lunch to MAP. MAP provides milk and water, and has a microwave oven for heat-ups, so last night’s leftovers could be a perfect lunch option. After lunch, the children listen to a story while they wait for the bus to bring them to the Memorial school.
The MAP PM K-Extension Program complements the morning kindergarten session. The children arrive to MAP on a bus provided by the Medfield School system and attendance is taken upon arrival. The children start their day eating lunch together. MAP provides milk and water and has a microwave oven for heat ups, so last night’s leftovers could be a perfect lunch option. After lunch the children have free play in our room.
