We finished our week in PREK1 sign in by talking about the importance of illustrations in stories. Children were asked to match the authors words to the illustrations in one of the most popular children’s songs/books: the Itsy Bitsy Spider. We talked about how books wouldn’t make sense if the illustrations didn’t match the words. We also wrapped up our chart in group after reading ‘The Alphabet Adventure’ by adding the title, author, and illustrator to the chart.
K.RL.3.2: Define the role of the author and illustrator of a story in telling the story.
K.RL.4.1: Describe the relationship between illustrations and the story in which they appear.
An open ended activity was made available at the circle table this morning and children took it in all different directions—the imaginations were palpable!
Asher spaced his wooden manipulatives in a deliberate fashion, stating, “I’m making an obstacle course!”. A few other peers worked on balancing the blocks as majority of the blocks are oddly shaped sides. It took a lot of discipline and fine motor control to get the blocks to balance but we were patient and steady! Paige was quite excited when she was finally able to balance her five wooden blocks and not have them fall down.
We had quite the end to our week!
