Hello Parents,
Our Kindergarteners practiced counting by 10’s using our Unifix Cubes. We discovered that 10 groups of 10 equal 100. By counting by 10’s, we are able to add our objects faster compared to counting them individually.
When Daniel was done grouping his cubes, he laid all 100 of them down to see how long it was compared to his body. Then he wanted to stand them up to see how high it would be from the ground.
Today, in the sensory bin we set up a color mixing water table due to popular demand. Everyone has been asking about doing something like the Friday green hue activity, so we set that up for further exploration. The kids started with all the primary colors and mixed them in a variety of jars, bottles, and tubes leaving the opening for a variety of imaginative play ideas!
We arranged a loose parts table to stimulate creative thinking and imaginative play. Loose parts leave possibilities wide open having no clear objective. They objects and tools can become anything with any purpose. We had a pharmacy, soup, building blocks and two bags became doctors gloves. This is the kind of creativity loose parts play allows to happen!
