Happy Monday!
PREK1 group came to sign in this morning. They were asked to choose a piece of paper from the bottom of the sign in board where each piece of paper had to a shape on it. They identified their shape and had to tape it under the shape name. A few older peers were able to identify the correct shape name by looking for the first letter sound in the word. For example, Hannah had the shape ‘hexagon’. She was able to find the word ‘hexagon’ because she knew the letter sound of ‘h’.
K.4.1: Identify and describe geometric objects: circle, triangle, square, rectangle, diamond, trapezoid, hexagon, octagon, parallelogram, sphere, and cube.
This morning a wee friend asked if she could have a popsicle stick so she could make her drawing into a puppet. Of course we provided it, and since it was a great idea we decided to build on it. We got out yarn, eye balls, tissue paper, beads and glue, offering creative ways to make puppets. Several friends joined the puppet making activity immediately. A couple of friends chose to use tape instead of glue so they could use them right away…great forethought! Three of our older friends chose to put on a puppet show in the art center window for all of the kids who were working there!
This morning we explored shapes as a welcome activity. We found ways to arrange the shapes in interesting patterns on top of a mirror. Some older friends enjoyed building smaller shapes into different larger shapes, like triangles build into squares of hexagons!
