Good Afternoon!
We continued on exploring numbers and the order in which they occur! Each PREK1 friend came up to the sign in board where they found their name and worked on identifying all of the numbers on their specific number line. There was one number missing so once they figured out what number was missing, they had to find the number on a tray. We taped the number in the missing spot so the number line would be complete!
K.NS.3: Find the number that is one more than or one less than any whole number up to 20.
Today at the art center, several kids have been interested in making collages. I set out some options for collage materials. After the kids got started, an outer space theme emerged. Kids made stars, constellations, planets and comets. We got to talk about comets a bit as there were some questions. We learned that comets are made mostly of ice and the tail is the steam from the melting ice as it comes close to the sun. I love how a collage art project can turn into a science lesson about comets! That is where child led learning takes you!
This morning, several kids were interested in kanoodle. This is a complex game that only a few friends are old enough to play, so we got out something similar that everyone could explore. Our Montessori beads allow kids to explore mating three dimensional shapes using two dimensional planes. They can be fit together to make more complex shapes with pieces that resemble the shape of the pieces in the kanoodle game.
