After we finished reading, ‘The Little Penguin’ in K group, we sat in a circle on the floor to explore a new activity! This week, we’ll be exploring shapes: specifically, taking simple shapes and creating new shapes!
To begin, we did one example together. Then, each friend had two problems that they had to solve. One friend took six triangles and made a hexagon while another child took a hexagon and three small triangles to make one big triangle!
Their understanding of shapes was evident as every member was able to complete their cards without any help! As one friend was finishing their shape problem, they shared, “I love doing activities like this!”.
K.G.4: Compose simple geometric shapes to from larger shapes (e.g., create a rectangle composted of two triangles).
In PREK2, children read, ‘The Mitten’ which lead into their activity. They took specific events that occurred within the story and put them into order. They also talked about how the authors words and the illustrations on the page match!
Last week, our kindergarten group played several rounds of a rhyming word memory game. They have still shown interest in this and it wasn’t even five minutes after breakfast before they asked if we could play.
Towards the middle of our experience, Franklin grabbed a clipboard, paper, and pencil and wrote his name along with his peers names who were playing. He kept track of all of the matches that he and his friends were getting.
Have a lovely night!
