Good Afternoon!
In K group, we focused on poetry today by reading ‘It’s Raining Pigs and Noodles’. Each child got to pick on poem from the book. Afterwards, we sorted shapes into categories. As we were placing shapes into the correct jar, I heard friends saying, “The hexagon has none!” or “The circle jar has the most!”
This week, we’re using comparison words such as most, few, none, and equal. Within prompting, children use these words on their own as a descriptive word!
When we were done, we identified the hexagon jar as having ‘none’, the circle jar as having the ‘most’, and several different jars that were equal!
K.NS.9: Use correctly the words for comparison, including: one and many; non, some and all; more and less; most and least; and equal to, more than and less than.
In PREK2, children worked on greater than and less than. There were two numbers that were focused on and they worked together to figure out which was greater than or less than.
Throughout the morning, the environment started to smell more and more like…red cabbage! That’s because children got a turn to break apart cabbage and place it in a pot. We used the torn cloth from yesterday and dyed the cloth by placing the pot onto the stove. In one pot, the cabbage was mixed with salt while the other pot was mixed with salt and vinegar. Children made guesses as to what color the cloth would turn out in each pot.
We’re anxious to see the results later on this afternoon!
