Good Afternoon!
Maddie explored word families this morning using plastic eggs! She turned the egg to make different words and using her background knowledge of consonant and vowel sounds, she was able to read the words in each family. For example, she read b-in, f-in, s-in, p-in, and m-in.
We’re always looking for new items to paint with. Up to bat today was..balloons! Emoji balloons to be exact. Children looked at the different faces that were on the balloons before we started painting with them. We used the balloons in a couple of different ways: pounding the balloon onto the paper and taking the balloon and swirling the paint around the paper.
Our magnatile creations were extensive and exact. There was a reason for everything we did!
