TERRIFIC TUESDAY 9-18-12

M IS FOR MASK!~
Yesterday we decorated masks to help us remember the new sound of the week!  Can you guess these masked Pre-K children?





 NEW FREE CHOICE ACTIVITIES~
This week we opened our Sensory Tub for the first time!  For this activity, children use a magnet wand to search and find magnetic circles and balls hidden in shredded paper.
 Will and London make some discoveries!
 Bittania and Lily count the number of mini marshmallows in the counting basket.  There were 100!

 Marble Painting~This week children can paint with marbles at the Creation Station.




 At the Alphabet Station, children can trace a letter on to a white piece of paper, draw at least 2 pictures that begin with that letter sound; and then label the pictures with assistance from the teacher.  So far, letters B and M are included with this activity.  As we introduce a new letter sound each week, that letter will be added to this activity. 

 
 
 
 

 We added a new spatial reasoning activity to Math Magic.   Children use the shapes and turn them to match the picture.
 

 Cody and David play Teddy Bear Bingo at Games Galore.
 

M&M GRAPH~ 
Children were given a small cup of M&M candies and graphed them to discovery which how many of each color of M&M they had.  Be sure to ask your child to share his/her graph with you and ask them....
~Which color had the most?
~Which color had the least?
~Were there any colors that were equal?





 MAGNET EXPLORATION~
Today we read the story, Mickey's Magnet.  We learned that items made of metal are magnetic but not all metals are magnetic.  The items have to be made of iron are steel to be magnetic.  Using a magnet of their own, children explored the area to discover magnetic objects/items.





 Beginning tomorrow, children can complete the activity pictured below at the Discovery Station to make more magnet discoveries!
