PRE-K AUTHORS~
Today we discussed what authors do. The children came up with answers including:
~Authors write books.
~Authors write stories.
~Authors make pictures in books. (We explained that sometimes an author is also the illustrator for a book.)
We then took a look at a book we read recently and discussed what we noticed on the front cover (i.e. words (the title or name of the book), pictures of things we would see inside the book, and the author and illustrator's names. We then examined the inside of the book and noticed words and pictures.
Next, we asked the children if they would like to be authors. We then showed them blank books that are available in the Writing Station for them to create books.
Each child has his/her own writing folder that is kept in his/her mailbox. On the inside of the folder are two pockets--one for books the child is working on (the green dot side) and one for completed books (the red dot side).
When a child completes a book at the Writing Station, he she puts it in the Author Bucket. We set aside time in our day for an author to choose whether or not he/she wants to share his/her completed story with the class.
Finally, a child can choose to bring home his/her book to share with family. AFTER YOUR CHILD SHARES HIS/HER BOOK WITH YOU, PLEASE HAVE YOUR CHILD RETURN HIS/HER BOOK TO SCHOOL TO KEEP IN HIS/HER WRITING FOLDER/PORTFOLIO.
We had many authors visit the Writing Station today!

Ask me about the pattern in this book.
ZERO THE HERO DAY!~
Today we celebrated our 30th day of school!
Today we counted the frogs on our ten-frames and got to 30. We also talked about a quicker way to count the frogs (counting by 10's).
Scarlett and her dad helped us celebrate Zero the Hero Day by making a number 30 with the number 3 and a pumpkin for the 0. Thank you for helping us celebrate!
EXTENDED DAY PRE-K~
Today children visited the Art Room for painting, drawing and sculpting activities.
