Happy Tuesday!
**Please make sure your child has appropriate gear for snow play this week (snow pants, winter jacket, snow boots, and gloves/hat). Thanks!
PREK1 group came to the sign in board where they chose a card to sign in under. Each card had a different shape on it so children studied them carefully, figuring out what new shape they would like to make. Albert chose to build a trapezoid by using five small triangles!
K.G.4: Compose simple geometric shapes to form larger shapes (e.g. create a rectangle composed of two triangles).
Today in PREK1 group, we read one of our favorite stories, ‘The Grouchy Ladybug’. We found out that this story has the same author and illustrator!
K.RL.3.2: Define the role of the author and illustrator of a story in telling the story.
We explored different ways to build shapes today. At the round table we used popsicle sticks and clothes pins. At the art table we tried straws and tape. We built triangles, diamonds, squares and rectangles. At he art center several friends got interested in making kite shapes. We added tin foil to our shape structures, creating solid shapes. Many friends took off exploring what they could make with the new materials!
We all had a wonderful time playing in the snow! We never tired of sledding down our Wee sledding hill!
