Good Afternoon!
To kick off our week in kindergarten, Mack and Evie each drew an illustration that matched the words I wrote as the author: “Mack and Evie spent the morning building with Legos at the table”. They each drew a picture that matched those words! We talked about the jobs of the author and illustrator in the story.
K.RL.3.2: Define the role of the author and illustrator of a story in telling the story.
We read, ‘Are You My Mother?’ in K/PREK1 group. Throughout the story, we talked about how the words and the pictures matched. There were a few pages where I asked, “Based on the picture, what do you think the words say?”—group members did a great job at guessing what the words may say based on the illustrations that the illustrator drew.
Throughout the week, we’ll chat about shapes and specific aspects of each shape such as the length of sides, number of sides, and vertices.
Today, we specifically talked about the number of sides and vertices of each shape. We noticed towards the end of the activity that for each shape we talked about, the number of sides and number of vertices matched!
K.G.2: Compare shapes using informal language to describe their similarities, differences, and parts (e.g., number of sides, length of sides, and vertices).
In PREK2, children each got the opportunity to sort a shape based on the number of sides they counted on their shape!
Enjoy the pictures from the rest of our day!
