Good Afternoon!

After reading, ‘Pete the Cat and the Lost Tooth’ in K group, we played a round of memory with rhyming words! Friends did a great job at helping one another remember where certain cards were located. At the end of the game, everyone had at least one match!

This week, we’ll be focusing on the following FAB’s:

K.W.2.1: Write most uppercase and lowercase letters of the alphabet, correctly shaping and spacing.

K.RF.3.1: Identify and produce rhyming words.

K.G.3: Model shapes in the world by composing shapes from objects and drawing shapes.

K.4.1: Identify and describe geometric objects: circle, triangle, square, rectangle, diamond, trapezoid, hexagon, octagon, parallelogram, sphere, and cube.

Our MACK for the week is:

Children will practice mindfulness strategies to calm their minds, calm their bodies, and to increase their concentration and attention. Strategies can include visualization, breathing, and movement exercises.

In PREK2, children wrote their name next to a specific shape. For example, Miss Kim asked Daniel to sign next to the rectangle!

A new art project was started this morning. We are creating new paint canvas’s for the reading area wall! We love making new canvas’s each fall to represent our full class.

Here’s a heart warming Teacher Tom blog post that highlights the everyday conversations we have with children.
