Good Afternoon!
Evie and Mack completed their sign in that revolved around comparison words. They had to identify which group of items had the most/least as well as use gems to answer comparison questions. I had eight gems in my hand. I asked the following questions:
“Take some of the gems and put them in your hand.”
“Take all of the gems and put them into your hand.”
“Now, there should be none in your hand.” (to which they quickly gave me all of the gems back!)
K.NS.9: Use correctly the words for comparison, including: one and many; none, some and all; more and less; most and least; and equal to, more than and less than.
We used the same gems in K/PREK1 group but in a slightly different way. I put a specific number of gems in the center of the group for each child. They had to answer my question using gems as their manipulative. For example, I put 8 gems in the center of the group. I told Evie to create her own group that had more than 8 gems. She chose to make a gem group of 9 gems.
K.RL.3.1: Recognize familiar narrative text genres (e.g. fiction, nonfiction, fairy-tales, poems).
K.NS.9: Use correctly the words for comparison, including: one and many; none, some and all; more and less; most and least; and equal to, more than and less than.
In PREK2, children used the Montessori beads to explore numbers as well as ways to compare. They discussed more than and less than as well as length.
We had a big sunflower in our garden area. Miss Annastecia took the sunflower head off and friends were excited to inspect it. A squirrel friend in the backyard has been eating the seeds out of it so we wanted to take it down now so we still had time to look at it!
We came inside shortly before lunch which gave Mack and Daniel more than enough time to transform into…Ninja’s!
They created covers for their masks and easily switched identities!
