Good Afternoon!
After reading, ‘Hedgie’s Surprise!’ by Jan Brett in K/PREK1 group, we filled in three different webs. We went through the whole group and each friend got to choose which web they wanted to add to: animals that fly, animals that hop, or animals that run. When they chose a web, they said aloud an animal that fit into that web.
We talked about how animals move in different ways which lead into the completion of our webs!
Science: K.3.2 Investigate that things move in different ways, such as fast, slow, etc.
Each friend in PREK2 group got to choose a car that they used to test out the wooden board that was used as a ramp. They pushed the car down the ramp and measured how long it went.
Miss Kim added friction to the board by placing crinkle packaging paper on the board to see if that would affect the length that the cars travelled.
Materials were placed in the habitrail area for exploration earlier this morning. Children have been interested in ramps and tracks so they used the wooden tubes to create their own track. Once the track was complete, they put a marble down the start of the track to see if it would end up in the wicker basket!
This child driven activity worked on problem solving, cooperation, and trial and error.
We are ready for warmer weather but until then, we’ll take cloudy and 30’s!
