Happy Monday!
During K/PREK1 group, we always do a quick calendar activity before journaling. We talk about the month that we’re currently in along with the date and the day of the week. At the beginning of each month, we highlight the ‘stay at home days’ so that we can identify days that we’re at school versus when we’re at home. We also highlight birthdays in each month as well as holidays! Children love to explore the calendar and say things like “It’s two more days until the weekend!” after looking at the calendar and the days that are already marked off.
For kindergarten sign in, Evie and Mack started diving into concepts of time, specifically calendars and clocks!
K.M.2: Understand concepts of time, including: morning, afternoon, evening, today, yesterday, tomorrow, day, week, month, and year. Understand that clocks and calendars are tools that measure time.
PREK2 friends played an interactive game that dove into shapes, categories, and counting! They can’t wait to play again!
Children used fall stamps at the art table this morning. Friends chose from a bat, kitten, and a pumpkin. The process of stamping was discussed before children began and they caught on very quickly!
Even though it was a gloomy morning, children had a blast cooking up a storm in the housekeeping area and kicking our red balls around the outdoor environment. Several of our friends are involved in soccer so they love practicing outside!
