TEUTOPOLIS PRESCHOOL!!!
Where the little Shoes learn...
Teutopolis Preschool is a half-day, tuition based preschool program for children 3-5 years of age.
This program allows children to have opportunities to explore, achieve, create, and discover in a
warm and nurturing environment, and is designed to provide a structured school environment with
emphasis on pre-academics and socialization skills. Staffed by a certified Early Childhood
Education teacher and a teacher assistant, the curriculum provides a natural transition to the
Teutopolis Grade School Kindergarten Program.

The students in Mrs. Jansen's kindergarten class try to "Save Sam". Sam the gummy snake never learned how to swim. Sam's boat capsized. Students used cups as Sam's boat, gummy circles for Sam's life preserver, and gummy worms for Sam. The children could only use a paper clip to help get Sam into his life preserver. The students enjoyed working together to complete this challenge.
