Good Afternoon!
**Please take a moment and go through your child’s bathroom cubbie to make sure that they have appropriate spare summer clothes. Thank you!
In large group, we continued our discussion about the calendar and specific terms that we see on any given calendar. Today, we talked about the terms ‘month’ and ‘year’. After reading an information text, we found out that there are twelve months in a year. Jackson shouted, “We’re in the month of May!”
Friends talked about what happens in a year. Lulu said, “I am four for a whole year!” The discussions and information that is put forth by this age group is generally content that they are personally connected to.
Social Studies: K.1.5 Explain that calendars are used to represent days of the week and months of the year.
Miss Kaylee started up an activity in the science area. It peaked the interest of several children so we worked together as a team.
First, Miss Kaylee gaged the current knowledge of shapes that our friends exhibited. After identifying all of the shapes that were laid out, children headed out into the environment to find different shapes. For example, Lucy found a rubber band that formed the shape of a circle.
After several examples of the shapes were found, Rosemary helped Miss Kaylee sort them into the correct category. We came to the conclusion that we were able to find ample examples of squares and rectangles which allowed us to look at the similarities and differences of these two shapes.
Addi and Jackson went outside with Miss Melinda to weed the backyard environment. They used different tools to cut weeds that needed a little assistance coming out of the ground.
