Good Afternoon!

Our PREK1 sign in focused on arrangements of items. We used stars specifically and worked on seeing how many stars were in this configuration but tried not counting them! A few friends were ready for this concept as they identified that each line had three stars and were able to add 3 and 3 together, making six!

K.NS.6: Recognize sets of 1 to 10 objects in patterned arrangements and tell how many without counting.

This morning we explored words and letters in the art center. We rolled our playdough out on our tray. Then, we selected a word card. We tried creating the word with cookie cutter letters on our rolled out play dough. Some of us created several words or our name while others made “pizza dough”. It was a well rounded activity :).

Other kids went in their own direction. One friend was interested in making numbers all the way around her drawing. We got out the number chart to help. Later, she said she had more space after ten and wondered how to write more numbers. We got to talk about adding the number one in front and then counting back up to ten as we go through the “teens”. It was a great example of an authentic learning experience!
