Good Afternoon!

We kicked off our Wednesday by identifying shapes and tracing them for our PREK1 sign in activity. Each child came up to the sign in board where they found a card with their name written on it. They flipped the card over to see the directions which read something like, “Find the circle and trace it.”.

K.4.1: Identify and describe geometric objects: circle, triangle, square, rectangle, diamond, trapezoid, hexagon, octagon, parallelogram, sphere, and cube.

This morning we explored some shape building activities.  At the art center, we used clay and toothpicks to make two or three dimensional shapes.  Some kids liked working from a model to make triangular prisms or cubes.  Others took their own approach, putting together unique creations like snowmen, sea urchins and even a hand with many fingers. 

At the round table we tried making shapes using popsicle sticks and clothes pins.  We found we could make three dimensional objects as well as two dimensional shapes.  Some kids even created elaborate play setups like houses and fire hoses. 

We hope you enjoy a few more pictures from our day!

PREK2: During group we read the story “Triangle”.  After the story we picked a shape from the bowl and decided what shape we had.  We added it to the correct category on our class chart.  Since friends really enjoyed the yoga poses yesterday, each of us picked a favorite pose for our group to do! 

Breakfast: Overnight oatmeal with cinnamon and fresh bananas.

Lunch: Farm fresh scrambled eggs with whole wheat flat bread, fresh watermelon/pineapple and fresh peppers/snap peas.

PM Snack: Hummus with tortilla chips.

Wee Sprouts: Green peppers/snap peas.

Have a wonderful afternoon!
