Good Afternoon.

We continued working with singular and plural nouns in PREK1 group today. Children came to the sign in board where they each had a sentence that was missing a noun. We read the sentence and they had to choose a noun from the pile that completed the sentence. Then, they had to determine which noun to use: the singular noun on one side of the paper or the plural version on the other side of the paper?

K.W.6.1a: Nouns/Pronouns—Writing sentences that include singular and/or plural nouns (e.g. dog/dogs, cat/cats).

We worked on making 10 groups of 10 as we sorted a bowl of treasures this morning at our welcome activity. We found that we had 10 jars or bowls to sort and 10 different kinds of treasures. After we sorted and counted we found that there were 10 treasures in each of the 10 groups. We learned that ten groups of ten make 100 things! We even tried counting by tens to get to 100.

Yesterday we experimented with rainbow string painting. Today we got out the materials so a few more friends could try. As the project got started, we talked about the possibility of making different marks with different types of string. The project evolved after that as we tried some thick feathery yarn and a ribbon to see what kinds of rainbow marks we could make. Friends came up with new ways to get the color onto the string, like adding a dab of color on top to soak in. This kind of exploration allows kids to use their creative problem solving skills to figure out solutions and new ways of doing things.

PREK2: Today at group we read the book “Alphabet Under Construction”. After the story we got a word to sort into the “ Z words” or “A words” category. During PREK2 journals Eliza tried writing letters from her name for the first time!

We were able to soak up a ton of outside time this morning! Our kids are always excited for the possibility of taking off their coats which we’ve been able to do a lot of lately!
