To help us celebrate this fun day, we had friends and teachers who wore the color green and we engaged in green playdoh and green playdoh tools.

We then extended our play into the main section of the classroom and found other green things.

Good Afternoon!

Today was a sensory filled today.  We started off our morning by using a fly swatter with pink and purple tempra paint.  We all loved swatting the paint on our papers.

After painting we opened the bean/corn sensory table to scoop and pour the beans and explore the pinecones and gourd in it.

After we read, ‘The Rainbow Fish’ in K group, we talked about singular and plural nouns. Each friend had to finish one sentence that had a blank space. The first sentence read, ‘I have two ______ at home. They bark a lot!’

Using context clues from the sentence, Z figured out that the missing word was dogs! We talked about whether the word should be dog or dogs. We did this for each sentence and chatted about adding an ‘s’ when we’re dealing with more than one thing.

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

For kindergarten sign in, children took five strips and sorted them in the correct order. On each strip, were numbers: 0-10, 11-20, 21-30, 31-40, and 41-50. After children placed them in the right order, they used their one to one correspondence skills by placing their fingers on each number and saying it aloud.

K.NS.1: Count to at least 100 by ones and tens.

In PREK2, children took plastic eggs that each had a letter and placed them in alphabetical order!

Good Afternoon. I hope you all had a fantastic weekend.

Today we engaged in very fun sensory activity… GOOP. This is a mixture of cornstarch and water, but some of our friends said it looked like milk. The GOOP will harden then as it lies still in your hand for a second or two, it turns watery. It was so much fun. Smile

Our six kindergarteners have time in the morning to sign in. It’s a great time for activities specific to each child’s developmental level. Today, we focused on animals and sorting them into the correct category: house, zoo, and farm There were several animals that could’ve went into two categories such as turtle (I shared that I had a pet turtle when I was little) and bird. Children were very descriptive when it came to defending their position to put the turkey in the farm as opposed to the zoo, for example.

K.RV.2.2: Identify and sort pictures of objects into categories (e.g., colors, shapes, opposites).
