Good Afternoon!

One of our kindergarten FAB’s for this week focuses on categories; figuring out what fits and what doesn’t. Today, we had the category game as our welcome activity which lasted all morning long.

Various friends came to the table and interacted with the game. They used their peers as a reference if they weren’t too sure which allowed for great communication and collaboration!

K.RV.2.2: Identify and sort pictures of objects into categories (e.g., colors, shapes, opposites).

Miss Melinda lead an activity at the art table that used a variety of art materials. Children used straws, cardboard, and labels to create their very own musical instrument! Friends cut the straws different sizes which gave their instrument a variety of sounds!

Afterwards, the musical instruments were tested out! We listened for the higher and lower pitched sounds that the variety in straws provided.

During large group, we read ‘Where The Wild Things Are’. After we finished, we had a discussion about the different between what’s real and what’s make believe. Our large group friends tied this conversation to what they KNOW: “That story is make believe: just like when we play dinosaurs in the habitrail. It’s not real.”

We hope you had a fantastic Wednesday.
