TERRIFIC TUESDAY 11-6-12

~SOUND BOX~

REMINDER:  Sound Box sharing this week will be on Thursday and Friday since tonight has been designated as "Family Night" and there is to be no homework.  Please assist your child in choosing and bringing in items that begin with the hard /C/ sound and letter (card, car, etc.).  Save items beginning with letter "K" for the week when we do that letter.  Items that begin with the /CH/ sound should not be brought for Sound Box.  Thanks!

MORNING MEETING~

During Morning Meeting, we did a new activity ("Bug In A Rug") which exercised observing and memory skills.  One child is chosen to be the scientist and "hides" his/her eyes in the other room.  The teacher chooses a child to be the bug and hides the child under the "rug".  The scientist then returns to the group and has 3 chances to guess which classmate is "The Bug In The Rug"!

NEW COLOR EXPERIMENT~

Using cups of water that are the primary colors eyedroppers, and a tray, children can experiment with mixing colors.

 

 VOTING ACTIVITY~

We did our own voting in Pre-K "A" to determine what we would eat for snack tomorrow.  Children had 3 choices from which to vote.  Voting was done individually in the Book Nook during Free Choice time. We even had ballots and stickers saying that we voted!

 Here are the results of our voting.....

 

 

HANDWRITING~

We will soon begin working on the correct formation of numbers when writing them.  Today, we used our wooden pieces to create the numbers to help prepare us for writing them.
