Today we have been warm and cozy inside Wee Friends! This morning there was lots of collaboration building a “house boat” with the trio blocks, while other friends created a house out of the wooden blocks.

Kindergarten: Today’s kindergarten activity was based upon K.RF.3.1: Identify and produce rhyming words—we played Rhyming Bingo! Every child received a unique bingo board. A teacher called out a word (like sing) and friends had to find the matching picture of a word that rhymed (like ring). Our kindergartners were very adept at figuring out the rhyming words!

Of course, other friends were welcome to join in. Once they knew what the rhyming word was, friends eagerly looked for the picture on their bingo board. There was lots of working together throughout the game. We played two different variations: until someone gets BINGO and filling the entire board!

One of our math FABs this week is all about SHAPES! During large group today we talked about different 3D shapes such as a sphere, cylinder and cube. Friends matched everyday objects with their shape. This type of shape work will continue throughout the week.
