Good Afternoon!
We hit the fourth and final genre during K/PREK1 group today: poetry!
Each member got to choose one poem from the book. We noticed quickly that the poems use a lot of rhyming words! A few children even helped me fill in the blank of a poem with the correct rhyming word.
Before friends rolled up their mats to journal, they had to answer a question specific to them. I gave each child three words that were similar and they had to come up with a fourth word that fit that category. For example, I gave Mack the words pig, horse, and chicken. He said “Those are farm animals! My word is cow!”
K.DA.1: Identify, sort, and classify objects by size, number, and other attributes. Identify objects that do not belong to a particular group and explain the reasoning used.
K.RL.3.1: Recognize familiar narrative text genres (e.g. fiction, nonfiction, fairy-tales, poems).
In PREK2, children had to observe four square picture tiles. They had to choose which square tile didn’t match the rest.
Evie and a few older friends used the sunflower seeds that we removed from the sunflower head yesterday to make animal feeders for outside! Friends used a toilet paper roll, peanut butter, butter knife, and sunflower seeds to make the feeder.
We’re anxious to see what animals visit our feeder!
The rest of our morning was full of stories, puzzles, and art work—the perfect trifecta for this rainy and cold day.
