We are often asked how MPCS preschool differs from other early-childhood programs offered in the local community. ![DSC04289](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hs-fs/hubfs/DSC04289.jpg?width=4240&height=2385&name=DSC04289.jpg) [![From the Teacher's Desk: Let's Talk Testing](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hubfs/LS%20girl%20smiling.jpg)](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/lets-talk-testing) ## [From the Teacher's Desk: Let's Talk Testing](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/lets-talk-testing) March 09, 2023 Many educators could say of assessments, “can’t live with them, can’t live without them,” but good assessment is incredibly valuable. Good assessment practices can accurately measure a student’s performance and give us an indicator of what a student knows at any given point in time. Teachers should rely on these good assessment practices to monitor and evaluate student performance in their classrooms at all levels.   ##### ![LS girl smiling](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hs-fs/hubfs/LS%20girl%20smiling.jpg?width=844&height=475&name=LS%20girl%20smiling.jpg)  [![From the Teacher's Desk: The Importance of Play](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hubfs/MPCS%20Pk%20kid%20upside%20down%20playground.jpg)](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/the-importance-of-play) ## [From the Teacher's Desk: The Importance of Play](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/the-importance-of-play) February 09, 2023 On March 7, 2012, the face of technology was forever changed with the introduction of the Apple iPad. It’s hard to believe that more than a decade has passed since the invention of the now ubiquitous tablet. While pioneering developments such as the telephone and television were revolutionary, the current pace of technological advances is astounding. Our society is constantly attempting to keep pace and re-establish norms.   The influence of technology has affected all of us, but perhaps none more so than today’s students. Researchers are continuously working to understand the impact of these advances, especially on young children. As tablets and screens continue to grow in popularity, one classic childhood pastime is taking a back seat to technology – play.   ##### ![MPCS Pk kid upside down playground](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hs-fs/hubfs/MPCS%20Pk%20kid%20upside%20down%20playground.jpg?width=844&height=475&name=MPCS%20Pk%20kid%20upside%20down%20playground.jpg)  [![The 2 Most Important Things to Consider When Choosing a Preschool](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hubfs/MOJO6252.jpg)](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/2-most-important-things-to-consider-when-choosing-a-preschool) ## [The 2 Most Important Things to Consider When Choosing a Preschool](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/2-most-important-things-to-consider-when-choosing-a-preschool) February 10, 2022 Parents who have survived sleepless nights with an infant leading to loud, messy days with a toddler soon find themselves on the precipice of yet another milestone — parenting a preschooler. Those never-ending long days and nights may, in retrospect, seem benign when in the throes of wrangling a preschool-aged child, who naturally tests boundaries and pushes the limits of authority. Finding ways to guide these little people into the independence they crave, while also maintaining boundaries, is no easy task.   At the age of three, when a child is officially considered a preschooler, many parents find they need support in teaching and guiding their quickly-changing child. The hope for the haggard parent is a great preschool partner. But, what makes for a great preschool? What sets one preschool apart from the others? These are the types of questions parents ask as they peruse websites, tour schools, and talk with their neighbors who have gone before them in exploring the best preschool programs out there.    ##### ![MOJO6252](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hs-fs/hubfs/MOJO6252.jpg?width=844&name=MOJO6252.jpg)  [![ParentEd.: Real Talk for Moms](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hubfs/PKana%26studentNEW.jpg)](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/parented-real-talk-for-moms) ## [ParentEd.: Real Talk for Moms](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/parented-real-talk-for-moms) January 26, 2021 Moms love and need to connect, whether it’s enjoying a cup of coffee and a long talk, sharing nuggets of broken conversation between chasing toddlers at the park, or just quickly chatting on the phone. There is something almost sacred about the wisdom and encouragement shared and gained when moms spend time together. We need one another's support as we raise our children together. ##### ![PKana&studentNEW](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hs-fs/hubfs/PKana%26studentNEW.jpg?width=786&name=PKana%26studentNEW.jpg)  [![Why Are Schools Cursing Cursive?](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hubfs/MOJO9568.jpg)](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/why-are-schools-cursing-cursive) ## [Why Are Schools Cursing Cursive?](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/why-are-schools-cursing-cursive) March 05, 2020 With the shift towards more technology in the classroom, it should come as no surprise that the majority of states—more than 40—no longer require handwriting instruction, especially *cursive* handwriting. According to a report from 11Alive news, Georgia requires instruction of cursive writing, typically beginning in grade three. However, since cursive writing is not assessed at the state level and is left to local determination for assessment, in most Georgia schools, cursive writing is no longer being taught.   ### ![MOJO9568](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hs-fs/hubfs/MOJO9568.jpg?width=845&name=MOJO9568.jpg) [![How to Prepare Preschoolers for a 21st-Century Kindergarten](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hubfs/21stpk%20LR-4676.jpg)](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/how-to-prepare-preschoolers-for-a-21st-century-kindergarten) ## [How to Prepare Preschoolers for a 21st-Century Kindergarten](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/how-to-prepare-preschoolers-for-a-21st-century-kindergarten) March 01, 2018 **CO-WRITTEN BY SHAUNDA BROOKS** Inside the quaint and cozy Sewell Cottage at Mount Paran Christian School, groups of preschoolers are clustered around a SMART Table. They’re learning about habitats- dragging virtual animals on the touch-screen to the correct environments and clicking to make the animals howl or cluck. The children’s giggles indicate they’re having a ball, and they don’t even realize how much they’re learning, or that they’re mastering cutting-edge technology at the age of three. ![21stpk LR-4676.jpg](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hs-fs/hubfs/21stpk%20LR-4676.jpg?width=881&height=510&name=21stpk%20LR-4676.jpg) [1](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/topic/kindergarten-readiness/page/1) ## *WingTips* Welcome to *WingTips*, a Mount Paran Christian School Blog.
