Good Afternoon!
K/PREK1 children dove into the story, ‘The Day The Crayons Came Home’. We’ve read, ‘The Day The Crayons Quit’ which is the first story around this theme. We talked about letters and what’s included. Penny asked what the address portion of the postcard is used for.
Afterwards, each child picked a white piece of paper with an image on it. They looked at the patterns on the chalkboard and figured out what pattern their white card completed. Once they completed their pattern by taping the piece of paper at the end, they stated the pattern aloud. For instance, Grady had the green, blank circle and relayed the pattern: “Full circle, blank circle, full circle, blank circle, full circle, blank circle”.
K.CA.5: Create, extend, and give an appropriate rule for simple repeating and growing patterns with numbers and shapes.
After reading ‘Parker Looks Up’, PREK2 children graphed which image they liked best. According to the graph, children preferred the ‘Michelle Obama’ image more than slimy fish, jeweled necklace, and horses.
The morning activity focused on different shapes made out of colored tape. Children took it upon themselves to trace the shapes using colored gems. Penny used her gems and implemented a pattern along the triangle.
Oh my goodness, did the fresh air feel FANTASTIC! We were so excited to get outside and loved having open spaces to run and explore. The weather outlook for the week looks extremely promising!
