Good Afternoon!
Our pre-k/k group was very descriptive in their journals this afternoon. Grady dictated to me that he drew a rain cloud and that his dog was outside getting wet. Maxwell focused for a long time on the tree that he was drawing. He drew several, intricate leaves and added two ladders to the tree house towards the end.
We have different levels of writing readiness. Both of our kindergarteners are deep into kid spelling where they’re able to sound out a word and associate which letters they’re hearing. Other friends are working on letter identification while our younger friends dictate to me what they drew which gives us the opportunity to talk about the letters that I’m writing and the sounds associated with those letters.
Our terrarium is coming together nicely! We have made a wonderful home for the insects and bugs that we’ve been able to find outside. In the terrarium, we have several rollie pollies, a couple worms, two crickets, and one cicada. Our friends check on the terrarium periodically throughout the day and share what they’re seeing.
The rest of our day consisted of building with magnatiles and trio blocks. These building activities allow us an opportunity to converse with friends and use our problem solving skills.
We were able to send a good amount of time outside this morning where we focused on finding new and interesting bugs for our terrarium.
