At the Overhead Station, children do a word find, locating classmates' names.
NEW WORK STATIONS~
Yesterday, we started a new set of Work Stations. Following are the "must do" tasks.
At the Writing Station, children "write" the passwords in colored sand.
At the Overhead Station, children do a word find, locating classmates' names.
At Math Magic, there are 2 different activities.
The photos below show a "Target Number" activity. Using 10 cubes, children determine different ways to add 2 amounts together to get the number 10.
The other activity at Math Magic is Yahtzee. Children roll the dice, count or add the dots, and then record it on their sheet.
At the SMARTBoard, children are working on rhyming, isolating and identifying beginning or ending sounds in words, and determining how many syllables are in a word.
HANDWRITING~
Children practice the correct formation of the letter "H".
PROBLEM SOLVING ACTIVITY~
Today we introduced a new "math" activity to the children. At first, they were a little confused as they didn't see any numbers. We explained that this was a problem solving activity.
In the photo below, you see 5 animals. The pets belong to 1 child, who took her pets to a pet fair to compete in a contest. One of the pets won first prize. Using clues (and process of elimination), the children were able to determine which pet won the prize!
In the photo below, there are 5 girls, one of which is a sister to the "main character" in our problem. In order to determine which girl is her sister, the children listened to clues.
We have some great thinkers in Pre-K "A"!
BIRTHDAY~
We helped Harper celebrate her upcoming November birthday! Harper's dad read a great guessing book about dinosaurs. Then, the children enjoyed dinosaur cookies, pineapple, and strawberries for Harper's birthday treat.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HARPER!!
