Good Afternoon!
After reading a story, members of K/PREK1 looked at the pictures that were on the chalkboard: a red square, a basketball, carrots, and a person riding a bike. We identified each picture before moving on. Each friend came up to the board and was given a picture. They had to determine which category it went into. Penny was given the soccer ball and she quickly came to the conclusion that it belonged in the group with the basketball. Once we categorized each picture, we talked about why we put the pictures into the groupings that we did. Together, we came up with descriptions that summarized each group.
K.RV.2.2: Identify and sort pictures of objects into categories (e.g., colors, shapes, opposites)
In PREK2, a book was read that focused on bugs and insects. There are a few specific characteristics that insects have: they must have six legs and three body parts which helped friends determine which group each went into.
The morning provocation revolved around sorting gems by color. This quickly shifted as Anna and Sophia wanted to place the gems on the perimeter of the wooden tray. After a little while, Anna announced, “I’m going to try and make my letters!”. She used the gems to make an A and an E!
What a beautiful morning! The sun glistened on our face as we headed outside.
As Anna shared with a teacher, “I’m just living my life”.—being outdoors makes us feel free!
