Happy Monday!
**Just as a reminder, we are closed this Friday, March 30th. Thank you!
In pre-k/k group, we read ‘The Shape of Me and Other Stuff’ by Dr. Seuss. Throughout the story, children noted various words that rhymed. After we finished the story, Maddie read five words for us: lip, bed, see, bean, and bug. Together, we came up with rhyming words by changing the beginning consonant sound. We wrote down words and nonsensical words!
K.RF.3.5: Add, delete, or substitute sounds to change words.
During naptime, Maddie interacted with a ‘word family’ activity. Maddie had to determine what consonant sound to put at the beginning of each word. For example, ham, jam, and ram are in the same word family and the beginning consonant sound gets changed each time to change the word as well as the meaning of the word.
K.RF.3.5: Add, delete, or substitute sounds to change words.
The light table was made available in the science area this morning where we worked with a plethora of materials. We worked on things such as patterns, comparison, and using descriptive words.
Our older children worked on adding numbers together to get to the number 10. Lucy and Maddie were given six seashells. Together, they worked to see how many more seashells they would need to get to 10!
K.CA.4: Find the number that makes 10 when added to a given number from any number from 1 to 9 (e.g., by using objects or drawings), and record the answer with a drawing or an equation.
Lucy made an L for her name using a pattern before she took on the Eiffel Tower using colored counters.
Miss Melinda got a new book over the weekend called ‘Welcome to the Symphony’. We found out that a couple of friends have this book at home! As Miss Melinda read it for the first time, children found out what sounds and instruments are in a symphony.
