Happy Monday
For kindergarten sign in, Evie wrote down the number of sides and vertices of several shapes. She noticed a pattern: the number of vertices and sides were the same for each shape!
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).
K/PREK1 group read, ‘Room On The Broom’ before diving into a discussion about authors and illustrators. We identified what an author does and what an illustrator does. We took our discussion one step further as we talked about characters in our favorite stories.
Many of our favorite books were up on the chalkboard. I read the titles aloud. Then, I read a character or characters and children told me what book the characters belong to.
K.RL.3.2: Define the role of the author and illustrator of a story in telling the story.
Dr. Seuss was the topic of PREK2 group as they talked about authors and illustrators. Dr. Seuss is one of our favorite authors!
We started an art project last week where children used various sized circular stamps. Today, they used the three primary colors to fill in the circles. Not only did they use the primary colors on their painting but they mixed the primary colors together, making new colors! Friends chatted while they painted about the colors that the primary colors made such as blue and yellow made green!
The light table was made available in the science area. Our FAB’s for the last few weeks have focused on shapes which children are quite interested in! A group of friends got out the plastic shapes. They used the plastic shapes to make new shapes or a specific design!
