Good Afternoon!

We wrapped up our week in PREK1 by talking about fruits and vegetables that are grown on a tree, vine, and on the ground! After we read, ‘The Rainbow Fish’, we completed our list of animal classification groups focusing on birds and amphibians! Throughout the week, we’ve add a ton of animals and really started to look at animals physical characteristics and what makes a certain animal unique!

This morning we made a large animal classification chart on the floor with each of the categories that we learned about this week. We sorted a large basket of animals into the correct columns under the headings: Amphibian, reptile, mammal, fish, bird, Arthropod and Mollusk. The kids worked together, helping each other problem solve as they sorted. A couple of animals that were both interesting and a bit confusing as the kids sorted, were swimming birds (penguins) and swimming mammals (whales). We had to go through our list of animal attributes so we could properly classify them.

Everyone enjoyed playing at the “animal habitat” table after todays sorting activity. We explored a forest floor, an ocean, a desert and an arctic habitat.

In the art center, several older friends decided to make puppets and put on a late morning puppet show for the young kids in the class! Everyone enjoyed the show!
