Good Afternoon!

Our theme today was rhyming words and to kick of K group, we read ‘There’s a Wocket in my Pocket’! Afterwards, we gathered in a circle where we played a rhyming word memory game! Each friend had a turn to flip over two cards to see if they were a match. If they were, they got to keep them and if they weren’t, they placed the cards back down. Our memory was on point! Children even helped one another remember where a certain card was—how thoughtful!

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

In PREK2, members of the group worked together to come up with their own rhyming words. Miss Kim had written down five words and collectively, friends thought of a rhyming word for each. For example, Miss Kim wrote the word ‘jar’ which elicited friends to say ‘par’!

Rhyming words was the focus of our kindergarten sign in activity. Five words were the focus on the sign in paper as well as five words on loose paper. Using their knowledge of rhyming words, friends matched up the words that rhymed as we read them together out loud.

While children were coloring at the art table this morning, a few friends became interested in mixing colors. So, instead of mixing our markers together, Miss Kim set up a science experiment where children mixed colors together using water colors! One friend wanted to make the color green so they mixed together blue and yellow water colors.

“For a small child there is no division between playing and learning; between the things he or she does ‘just for fun’ and things that are ‘educational’. The child learns while living and any part of living that is enjoyable is also play.”
