This morning, some friends pulled out boats and music instruments! Each friend had a piano or xylophone, and they made their own music with them while sitting in their boats and listening to “Row Row Row Your Boat”

Then, we went into the kitchen and painted on the easel.  We used green, purple, red and yellow tempera paint to create colorful masterpieces.

Happy Monday!

We kicked off our short week as we started talking about how we can be helpful and responsible in a group setting, like our family or at Wee Friends! Our PREK1 friends came to the sign in board where they chose to sign in under a helpful chore they do at home! Friends were eager to share what they help with at home.

Social Studies: K.2.4 Give examples of how to be a responsible family member and member of a group.

This morning, friends explored ways to use three dimensional shapes in kinetic sand.  We talked about the names of shapes they were making using a variety of containers.  We found we could make a cube, a cylinder, and a dome.  We also found if we put two domes together, we had a sphere!

Happy Friday!

We ended our week with our PREK1 sign in by looking at a pie to help us solve a subtraction equation. Children identified the pieces of the pie that had been eaten as well as the leftover pieces. Once they solved the problem, children identified the number 7 from the options available.

K.CA.1-2: Solve real-world problems, objects, or drawings that involve addition and subtraction within 10. Demonstrate the equation (e.g 5=3+2 and 5=4+1).

IMG_1841IMG_1842IMG_1844

This morning we offered a loose parts peg board activity for all those kids interested in tools, hardware and fitting things together.  Kids chose from the options that best fit them developmentally.  Younger kids added golf tees to the peg board, while older kids figured out how to push a bolt from the bottom to attach a door knob to the board.  Some friends got imaginative using magnets to make screwdrivers, drills and even a telescope!  This activity is designed to practiced fine motor skills and creative problem solving using an interest that kids in this classroom have expressed.

Good Afternoon!

PREK1 friends came to the sign in board throughout the day where we worked with addition and subtraction equations. Children had to find the index card with their name on it and identify their equation. We worked with manipulatives to solve the equation. They located the total on the board and taped their equation under the correct total.

K.CA.1-2: Solve real-world problems, objects, or drawings that involve addition and subtraction within 10. Demonstrate the equation (e.g 5=3+2 and 5=4+1).

This morning we enjoyed a sand/loose parts welcome activity to get our imaginations flowing.  Kids chose from stones, leaves and a wide variety of wooden pieces to figure out what to build.  Several kids built “hide-outs” for animals.  They did a great job sharing information with one another about how best to build with the pieces in the sand!

This morning, we played in housekeeping. Cece and Rowan played with baby dolls and dress-up clothes, walking around the room carrying their baby dolls while a couple other friends cared for their dolls on the housekeeping counter.

IMG_5765IMG_5758IMG_5760IMG_5767IMG_5768

Then, we went into the kitchen and engaged in loose parts-wooden shapes and animals on wooden trays. Some friends built towers and others investigated the various farm animals and we talked about the different sounds each animal made on their tray,

Then, we spent some time exploring drums, with a couple friends investigating what the drums look like upside down.

Good Afternoon!

This morning there were several friends interested in our yoga cards.  They enjoyed trying some of the poses out.  One pose that was very popular was called “the Human Zipper”.  It was a group pose that kids had to work together to create.  They loved the activity and repeated it several times!  Another card that kids were drawn to was the mandala card.  We found that we could use objects from our classroom to create our own mandala.
