Good Afternoon!
*Reminder: Farm fees are due this Friday, November 16th! Thank you!
K/PREK1 used their knowledge of numbers from 1 to 20 to complete the group activity. Each child came to the board and had to identify the yellow number that I had stated. For example, Lucy came to the board and had to find the yellow number 16. Once she identified the number, I then asked her to find the green number in that row that is one more than 16. She was able to identify the number 17 and drew a circle around it.
K.NS.3: Find the number that is one more than or one less than any whole number up to 20.
PREK2 used turkey manipulatives to complete simple subtraction problems. For example, Miss Kim put six turkeys on the floor. After friends got done counting those six turkeys, she took two away. Together, the group counted how many turkeys were left. At this age, having something concrete, where children are able to touch and move, really allows the concept to be grasped.
Several children came to the art table where a puff paint art experience was made available. Friends took brushes and brushed the puff paint onto the paper before having the option of sprinkling sparkles onto their puff paint.
We’ve been interested in money lately! Friends used the felt money in their play this morning as they told one another the cost of goods that they were offering!
We used the chains in an unconventional way! While they were put out on the table to make patterns, friends decided to use them on their bodies! They helped each other make bracelets or anklets as well as belts that went around their waist.
