Good morning!
Children took turns signing in on the PREK1 message board this morning. They wrote their name under their birthday month. We noticed that most of our friends have a birthday towards the end of the year!
In PREK1 group, we stayed with the theme of months and read, ‘A Child’s Calendar’. This week, we’ll be diving into calendars, why we use them, and what we can find on a calendar.
K.M.2: Understand concepts of time, including: morning, afternoon, evening, today, yesterday, tomorrow, day, week, month, and year. Understand that clocks and calendars are tools that measure time.
PREK2: This week’s MACK book theme centers around defining and recognizing friendships. Today, our small group read “Kindness Starts with You.” This story give several examples of ways friends can show kindness to each other! Afterwards, each friend came to the front to explain one way they could show kindness while at school by choosing examples from the book or making up their own!
This morning we explored a loose parts tray. We had a choice of bolts, a variety of washers, rings, carabiners and magnets. We could experiment with any way we wanted to put them together. One friend chose to make a “scrap magnet”, an enormous electromagnet that is used to move large objects. Other friends realized when a bolt was connected to the magnet, it too became magnetized and could hold objects.
In the art center we enjoyed some water color painting!
