MORNING MESSAGE~
Check out the question below on today's Morning Message.
Today we introduced the "counting basket". Periodically throughout the school year, we will change the item and amount of the item in the counting basket. Students can visit "Math Magic" and choose to do this activity, where they count the number of objects in the counting basket using a 100's chart.
In the Book Nook, children can hold on to a "special stuffed friend" while enjoying a Mo Willems book.
At the Fine Motor Station, children can strengthen their fine motor muscles/skills and eye-hand coordination by doing a "pin prick" activity.
At the Creation Station, children can do a "color by number" page of Elmer the Elephant.
We have a new activity at the Alphabet Station--sound drawers. Children choose 2 sound drawers which are filled with objects beginning with those sounds. They mix the objects together in a basket and then sort the objects according to the sound they make.
Children learned and practiced making squares and also the upper case "F" today.
Today was a Discovery Day! After lunch, we went on a leaf hunt to collect leaves of different sizes, shapes and colors.
Later in the afternoon, we read a story called, Why Do Leaves Change Color? In the book, we learned that leaves make sugar which is food for the tree. The leaves need air, sunlight and water to make the sugar. In Fall, when there is less daylight and colder temperatures, the leaves stop making the sugar for the tree. The tree is also getting ready for Winter when it will rest. Since the leaves are no longer needed, they fall off the tree and change color.
After our story, the children examined their collected leaves with magnifying glasses and did leaf rubbings.
