Good Afternoon!
K/PREK1 read a book titled, ‘The Revenge of the Magic Chicken’, which focused on a Magic Chicken using his powers for evil instead of good. We got in some good belly laughs as we talked about the story and specific events that lead up to the end!
Afterwards, we talked about counting by ten’s and what that sounds like/looks like. After we counted by ten’s together a few times, each friend came up to the board and counted by ten’s by themselves before rolling up their mat. They pointed to each number and either said the numbers by themselves or with a little help from their peers.
K.NS.1: Count to at least 100 by ones and tens.
We’ve been talking about alphabetical order this week and today in PREK2, friends were each given a cardboard person with a letter on it. Together, they worked to put the cardboard people in order alphabetically!
Friends were offered a new art activity this morning! Using cookware, rubber bands, paint brushes, our fingers, and paint, we were able to make quite the masterpieces! After a teacher had secured the rubber bands, children painted the rubber bands with different colors. Then, children snapped the rubber bands which made the paint splat onto the paper that was in the cookware! We loved the feeling of the rubber band snapping and getting to choose our own paint colors. This activity really tested our ability to have controlled finger motor motions as we snapped the rubber band!
