Good Afternoon!
Yesterday, Evie and Mack worked with a pie chart to answer questions regarding a specific topic for their kindergarten sign in. Today, they used a graph to figure out how many children liked a specific fruit. They were able to follow the line on the graph to determine how many children liked bananas, strawberries, watermelon, or apples the most.
K.W.5: With support, build understanding of a topic using various sources. (Identify relevant pictures, charts, grade-appropriate texts, personal experiences, or people as sources)
After we read, ‘What Do You Do With A Tail Like This?’ in K/PREK1 group, each child got an opportunity to come up to the chalkboard to complete a shape pattern! Before they came to the board, we identified the pattern first. Once they determined what shape came next in the pattern, they grabbed the correct colored pencil and proceeded to fill in the blank space.
K.CA.5: Create, extend, and give an appropriate rule for simple repeating and growing patterns with numbers and shapes.
“What power do you want to have?”—what an awesome question!
Each PREK2 member got the chance to choose one of three powers they’d like to have. When they came to a decision, they filled in a piece of the pie chart with their answer. Looks like majority of the group chose mind control!
We have a few different building materials in the science area: crystal climbers and magnets! A group of older boys explored both of these activities this morning before we went outside. There was an abundance of detailed creations with wonderful stories behind each creation.
Bo made a time changer out of magnets. He shared that as he spun it, he could make the time and day change to whatever he wanted!
It has been glorious being able to go outside this week! Children got right back into the swing of things in our outdoor environment. We love the morning fresh air!
