Good Afternoon!
Yesterday in K/PREK1, we each came up with one spot in the community that we’d like to add to our map. Today, we constructed that map by each friend choosing a space where they’d like to put their establishment. After each square was occupied, I gave each child a different colored marker and they had to follow the lines from the Wee Friends house to their specific spot! There were a few spots that required friends to stop at the stop signs!
Social Studies: Create maps 2 dimensionally and 3 dimensionally.
In PREK2, children answered the question, “If you could travel anywhere, where would it be?”—the three choices were Walt Disney World, camping in the woods, and the ocean. What a wide variety!
Several children occupied habitrail while exploring a science experiment that was created. Using a dixie cup, balloon, tape, and a cotton ball children set off exploring. When they pulled the balloon back, the force from the balloon shot the cotton ball into the air.
“Pretend play combines two wondrous and uniquely human characteristics—the capacity for fantasy and the capacity for, and need to, make meaning of our experience.”
