Good Afternoon!

Yesterday, we introduced the terms ‘author’ and ‘illustrator’ so today, we dove into illustrations and how the authors words need to match the illustrators illustrations.

Each PREK1 friend came up to the board and I read them a page from the book ‘Peck, Peck, Peck’. They looked at several different illustrations from the book to see which illustration matched the words. They chose the illustration and taped it next to authors words!

K.RL.4.1: Describe the relationship between illustrations and the story in which they appear.

In PREK1 group, we decided to read the book from sign in earlier in the day called, ‘Peck, Peck, Peck’. We completed our chart for the day by adding the title of the story we read along with the author and illustrator who turned out to be the same person!

K.RL.3.2: Define the role of the author and illustrator of a story in a telling the story.

A group of our older kids were up for a shape hunt in the classroom this morning.  They worked as a team to search for squares and rectangles.  They found the shapes they were looking for in the magnetic tiles and the bristle blocks.  After the group gathered their shapes they dipped them in paint and printed them on a large piece of cardboard.  We will add more shapes through out the week.

Spontaneous kid spelling was happening in the in the art center this morning!  A pair of friends made a lists on their drawings sounding out words, listening for the sounds they heard.  The list described things that were in the drawings like cat, dog, grass, horse, hay and pompom…

PREK2: During group we read the story “The Color Monster”.  We talked about each emotion the monster felt during the story.  At the end we came up to the board to pick the color we felt that day.
