Good Afternoon!
We read, ‘Leaf Man’ in K group today! Afterwards, I showed the group two different cups and they answered two questions pertaining to the cups and gems. The first question was, “Which cup do you think will hold the most gems?” and the second question was “How many gems do you think the glass jar will hold?”. Friends gave their estimates and I documented them by writing them on the chalkboard.
After we gave our predictions, we worked together to count the gems as I put them into the jar. The glass jar ended up holding 96 gems! We transferred the gems to the white cup and counted the gems until that cup was full—we counted to 160! Friends shared, “We were right! The white cup did hold the most!”
K.M.1: Make direct comparisons of the length, capacity, weight, and temperature of objects, and recognize which object is shorter, longer, taller, heavier, warmer, cooler, or holds more.
In PREK2, children worked at filling the glass jar with pom poms and after the jar was full, they counted how many pom poms were in the jar by taking one out at a time!
One of our favorite traditions around this time of year is our pumpkin exploration! First, children had the opportunity to remove the seeds and pulp from the pumpkin.
Once that was done, friends took wooden hammers and hammered golf tees into the pumpkin!
