MARVELOUS MONDAY 4-6-15

ASK ME ABOUT...
...going to Assembly.
...who I sat with during Assembly.
...galaxy playdough.
...what I did in P.E.
...what I did in Spanish.
...how many days we've been in school.
...what we did to celebrate Zero the Hero day!
...my new "Book In A Bag".
...the new password.
...what I learned about Pluto and why it is no longer considered a planet.
...how many moons Pluto has.

OUTER SPACE~
Today we read 2 books about Pluto, learning some characteristics of this dwarf planet and why it is no longer a planet.  (Pluto is not round but rather an oval shape and does not have its own orbit path.  It shares one with Neptune.)  The first story we read about Pluto was written by a class of 3rd grade students in California.
 
 FREE CHOICE LEARNING~
This past Friday, the Extended Day Pre-K class made galaxy playdough.  We put some of this at the Fine Motor Station along with some Outer Space objects.


 

 

 At Games Galore, children can play a game of "Go Fish" using Outer Space cards.  Instead of saying go fish, the players say, "Blast Off!" when someone needs to choose a card from the pile.


ZERO THE HERO~ 
Today was the 130th day of school!  To help us celebrate, Anna and her mom brought in supplies for us to make a card with flower on the front in the shape of a zero.  Not only did they enjoy making the card, but the children also liked deciding to whom they would give the card and what to write inside!  Thanks for a fun activity!


EXTENDED DAY PRE-K~ 
Today was Technology Day!  Children worked on the laptop computers doing math and language activities from abcya.com
