Good Afternoon!
**Parents: If you would like bug spray applied to your child during our outside time, please bring in a bottle specifically for your child as we do not have communal bug spray at Wee Friends. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask! Thanks!
‘Giraffe’s Can’t Dance’ was on the K/PREK1 itinerary today as we dove into a specific genre: fiction! We took our knowledge of stories one step further from last week after discussing authors and illustrators and their role in the creation of a story.
This week, we’ll be focusing on different narrative text genres and today, we started with fiction. Right away, a few children shouted, “Fiction means not real!”
Each day, we’ll read a story from a different genre and then discuss what that genre entails.
K.RL.3.2: Recognize familiar narrative text genres (e.g. fiction, nonfiction, fairy tales, poems).
Miss Kim put a cheetah in the middle of two animal groups. Each child in PREK2 had to count the two groups and decide which group was bigger. They identified the bigger group and therefore, had the cheetah eat the bigger group!
Our new canvas’s are coming along and today, we took another step toward completion! A few different sparkle options were offered and children added varying sparkles to their canvas. Some children chose to make lines with the sparkles and others chose to add sparkles to the corners of their artwork.
Friends were quite anxious to get a turn to continue working on their canvas! Grady and David patiently waited for their names to be called by peering through the window.
Our MACK curriculum for Week 4 is: Children will learn a variety of strategies for managing strong emotions constructively, including expressing their emotions, listening to others, problem solving, and using mindfulness techniques.
