Happy Thursday!
K/PREK1 read ‘Angelina and the Butterfly’ which enticed us as there was a ton of suspense in the story! It kept us on our toes and friends were anxious at the end of each page to see what was going to happen next.
Afterwards, each child found their name card and said aloud the pattern that they saw. For example, on Lucy’s card, she read, “blue star, blue star, purple star, purple star, blue star, blue star, purple star, purple star, blue star, BLANK.” She had to fill in the blank with the correct colored star! The patterns varied in ability. Different patterns we discussed were ABAB, AABB, AABAAB, and ABCABC.
K.CA.5: Create, extend, and give an appropriate rule for simple repeating and growing patterns with numbers and shapes.
“It’s OK not to know. It’s not OK to not try.”
Children in both journal groups drew their picture and either dictated their description to a teacher or used their kid spelling skills which is growing every single day!
In PREK2, children listened to ‘The Legend of Spookley the Square Pumpkin’ before discussing patterns using Halloween drawings! They focused on the pattern ABAB and together, figured out which drawing came next in the pattern.
The art table turned into a bead station where pipe cleaners and beads were used to make bracelets! Some of our older peers took beads and added letter beads to make their name.
