Good Afternoon!

Each PREK1 kiddo came to the sign in activity where they each worked with either a subtraction or addition story problem. We read the story problem and then children got the opportunity to write out the equation before attempting to solve it! A few kids were able to do the problem in their head while others used manipulatives to solve their equation.

A few younger friends were hanging around the sign in board and asked, “What’s a story problem?”. Adrian and William shared that it’s a story that has some sort of math problem in it!

K.CA.1-2: Solve real-world problems, objects, or drawings that involve addition and subtraction within 10. Demonstrate the equation (e.g., 5=3+2 and 5=4+1).

The welcome activity at the circle table revolved around various manipulatives such as colored wood pieces and animals. This open ended activity allowed children of all ages to explore it. Adrian and Nesta used the green wooden pieces to create their own forest for their animals. They made the forest the same on each tray! Hannah took her pieces and lined them up in a row. She started lining up the wooden pieces, talking about the colors she was using before ending her line with a few animals.

A few younger girls took it upon themselves to get smocks on and asked to paint at the art easel. Instead of regular paint brushes, children painted with circular sponges! This allowed children to paint in a few different ways: dragging the sponge across the page to make lines or by simply pressing the sponge into the paper, making small circles!
