Good Afternoon!

This morning, our kindergarteners tackled their sign in where they had to write the numbers 0 to 10. After they were done writing their numbers, they had to match the number to the correct number word. They used their knowledge of letter sounds when trying to distinguish between the number words.

K.NS.2: Write whole numbers from 0 to 20 and recognize number words from 0 to 10.

In PREK2, children were given an UNO card with a specific number of in. Each child had the opportunity to take a marker and draw the number of dots that matched the card.

The morning activity drew kids in all morning! Friends used tongs to transfer various sized puff balls to glass jars. While it was a simple activity, children were able to extend it by adding in different variables and creating new games.

Friends took turns at the art table where they used glue to attach string to their paper. Once they were done gluing the string, friends were able to paint the spaces around their picture. They all turned out FANTASTIC and were all so different.

Happy Monday!

In K group, we read, ‘Leonardo the Terrible Monster’. When we were finished, we went over the three main punctuation marks that we use when we write or read. I wrote out seven sentences and each friend got one sentence to complete by adding the correct punctuation mark at the end. I read them in different voices, showing excitement when an exclamation mark would be added. Friends helped one another as they came to the board to fill in the blank with the correct mark.

K.W.6.2b: Punctuation– Recognizing and naming end punctuation.

For kindergarten sign in, we started off the day by talking about punctuation marks. Children used green, blue, and purple markers to correctly identify the three punctuation marks. Children took the blue marker and circled the sentences that ended in a period, a purple marker for questions marks, and green mark for exclamation marks.

In PREK2, children sorted their pictures based on similarities. The four groups that they sorted pictures into were food, transportation, animals, and fly ability.

For kindergarten sign in, children had to fill in the missing space with the correct number. We skip counted and used the colored counters to help us. One of the problems we had to complete was: 2, 4, 6, 8, _____. We talked about the pattern in each problem (add 2, add 10, etc.).

K.CA.5: Create, extend, and give an appropriate rule for simple repeating and growing patterns with numbers and shapes.

Good Afternoon.

This morning a friend thought the puff balls and wire whisk looked enticing, so he pulled it out. His friends also thought it looked enticing so they joined in the fun. This activity can enhance a child’s fine motor, sensory and hand-eye coordination skills along with color recognition.
