Good Afternoon!

Throughout the week, we’ve been talking about words associated with time and today, we focused on the word ‘month’. Friends signed their name under their birthday month and surprisingly, we didn’t have any duplicates: each group member had their own birthday month! .

K.M.2: Understand concepts of time, including: morning, afternoon, evening, today, yesterday, tomorrow, day week, month, and year. Understand that clocks and calendars are tools that measure time.

In PREK1 group, we read ‘Kamala and Maya’s Big Idea’ which was about two young girls who wanted to help build a playground in the courtyard of their apartment complex. Through determination and perseverance, they were able to accomplish that goal! When we were done, we took five important events that occurred in the story and put them in sequential order.

K.1.4: Identify and order events that take place in a sequence.

This morning several friends enjoyed exploring sensory activities.  We set up play dough in the art center along with golf tees and rollers.  Some enjoyed counting how many golf tees could fit in their playdough while others made birthday cakes!

Many friends also enjoyed the water sensory bin.  They experimented with different ways of changing water flow.  We added some marble run pieces that would allow friends to try out a different way to use them.  Many used the wheels and funnels with eye droppers and or pour spouts.

Some of our older friends have been making Halloween art this week.  Today Katherine drew a “Vampire”!  She has become so skilled at putting her thoughts onto paper!

PREK2: During group we read the story “The Bus For Us”.  We identified the first vehicle in the story and the last.  At the end we came up to the board to pick our favorite truck from the story for our class list.
