Good Afternoon!
Comprehension is one of the important aspects of literacy and today in K/PREK1, children demonstrated their comprehension level by sharing throughout the story what events come next. We read ‘The Hat’ which is a short story in the ‘Frog and Toad’ series. In ‘The Hat’, Frog had bought a hat for Toad but it was too big. Frog told Toad to think big thoughts and his head would get larger which would mean that the hat would fit!
Penny quickly said, “Frog is lying to Toad! He takes the hat home and puts water on it to make the hat smaller!”—this is exactly what happened!
It had been a while since we read this story but every child gave some sort of detail in the story before it happened!
In PREK2, children played bingo! Miss Kim rolled the die and children looked on their bingo board to see if they had that number.
Several children chose to come to the art table this morning where they used white string and beads to make necklaces! Once they decided they were done, their string was turned into a necklace.
Once Grady was done with his necklace, he took it one step further. He counted up his beads and divided it into two groups which prompted his question, “What’s 24 plus 39?”
He grabbed a piece of paper and with help from Miss Kim, he found the total of how many beads he had on his necklace!
The rest of our morning was a mixture of LEGO’s, different manipulatives, and lovely piano tunes from Daniel and Evie!
