Happy Monday!

To start off our week, PREK1 friends came to the sign in board where they found a four sided shape to sign in under.

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).

One of our FAB focuses in PREK1 this week will be authors and illustrators. We will keep a chart in the science area that highlights the books that we read in group as well as the author of the story. We talked about the author and illustrator roles when creating a book.

K.RL.3.2: Define the role of the author and illustrator of a story in telling the story.

PREK2: Today we read “The Color Monster”, a book that helps us to identify our emotions. After the story we talked about different emotions we feel and when we feel those things. We recorded on our board what we all said.

This morning at our welcome activity, we got to experience a wonderful child lead evolution of imaginative shape building! We started out with one shape in a variety of sizes on each mirror tray in order to play with building larger shapes from smaller ones. As this activity progressed, someone thought their shapes put together looked like a pizza, and wanted to put the smaller shapes on top for toppings. Suddenly the shape building took on a new level on intrigue for on lookers, who all wanted to make shape pizza! In order to support the interest we put out some “pizza trays” spatulas and plates. We talked about the shapes as we put together the pizzas and played.
