Good Afternoon!
Children scurried up to sign in where they found their name attached to a card. They flipped the card over and were given a shape they had to build using smaller shapes. For example, William was given six small green triangles and he had to use them to build a hexagon.
During PREK1 group, we read ‘Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs’ and documented the titled, author, and illustrator on our chart.
K.RL.3.2: Define the role of the author and illustrator of a story in telling the story.
K.G.4: Compose simple geometric shapes to form larger shapes (e.g. create a rectangle composed of two triangles).
A group art project was started at the art table using circles and paint! Children took turns adding to the group painting. A variety of jars, cups, and tubes were made available that all left different sized circle marks on the paper which turned into a beautiful collective art piece. Throughout the week, we’ll continue to add to our collective piece of art by working with different shapes. We’re excited to see what shape is next!
We brought out the light table to use this morning and children instantly flocked to it. A collection of various sized triangles were made available and immediately, children started creating things using simple shapes. Hannah created an image of her mom using only triangles! A few younger kids sorted the shapes based on size while also sorting by color.
