Good Afternoon!

In PREK1 group, we played Shape Bingo after reading the book, ‘Butterfly Alphabet’. We worked on identifying several different 2-D and 3-D shapes. Some of the 3-D shapes were new to us so we compared them to real life objects. For example, a ‘cone’ like in an ‘ice cream cone’ or a ‘sphere’ like our globe.

K.4.1: Identify and describe geometric objects: circle, triangle, square, rectangle, diamond, trapezoid, hexagon, octagon, parallelogram, sphere, and cube.

Today we worked through a variety of activities.  Many friends enjoyed the color mixing with shapes sensory bin as they used eye droppers to create different hues and fill different shapes.  Others created three dimensional shapes like pyramids and cubes using Montessori beads.  In the art center several friends used water color.  We talked about how we could create mixed media artwork.  Some tried it out using pastels and colored pencils before applying the watercolor. 

PREK2:  During group today we read the story “Eating the Alphabet”.  After the story we searched for first letter in our names on the board.  We got to circle our letter as we went to our cots for rest time.
