Good Afternoon!

PREK1 friends started off their Thursday by signing in where they were asked to come up with a rhyming word! There were several words that were written on the sign in paper and they had to pick one word. We read the word together and they had to come up with a word that rhymes (example: hand—band). We wrote the word and then friends wrote their name under the rhyming word pair.

After reading, ‘My Heart Is Like A Zoo’ in PREK1, we looked at our shape chart from yesterday where we taped the shape to the shape word. Today, we focused on the actual physical characteristics of the shapes, specifically the number of sides! I held up one shape at a time and after children identified the shape, they said aloud how many sides the shape has and we correctly sorted it.

PREK2: During group today we read the book “Yoga Bunny” which showed a variety of yoga poses. We tried the poses ourselves and practiced deep breathing. We talked about how these slow body movements along with breathwork can help us feel calm. At the end of the story we practiced finding our name on the board, then picked out our favorite pose from the book.

During our welcome activity this morning, we used a variety of smaller shapes to construct larger shapes. We set out four trays starting simply with two triangles to construct a square, and moving up to complex shape construction with a variety of possible combinations. This allowed everyone to work at their own level depending on their age and ability. It allowed everyone to challenge themselves as far as they wanted. It also allowed older kids to start simple and work their way up to the difficult puzzles as it helped them feel more confident.
