Happy Friday!
We rounded out the week in K/PREK1 with matching the community helper to descriptions of each helper. I read clues aloud and children had to match the descriptive clues. For most of the helpers, I didn’t even finish the sentence before children were saying the correct helper aloud!
Social Studies: K.2.1 Give examples of people who are community helpers (inside the classroom and outside the classroom) and describe how they help us.
In PREK2, children were able to pick a community helper. After their community helper was identified, they matched it to the tool that they use to do their job.
The round table was bustling with different activities, initiated by children throughout the morning. The welcome activity was a collection of wooden materials to build various tracks and creations. Friends asked for puzzles and unifix cubes which lead to patterns and one to one correspondence work.
Scrap cardboard was used at the art table as children painted it different colors. Next week, we’ll continue to extend this art experience.
