FREE CHOICE LEARNING~
Today we introduced some new tasks for Free Choice time.
At the Fine Motor Station, children can place beads on a flower or butterfly template. Once all the beads have been placed, the beads are ironed (by the teacher) and melt together. The template is then removed. This is a tedious task!
Elliott investigates our butterfly specimens with a magnifying glass.
At Math Magic, children use a 100 chart and color in the numbers as indicated below. Once all of the numbers are colored in, the picture is a.....
...butterfly!
At the Creation Station, children can create their own mini book version of The Very Hungry Caterpillar.
LIFE CYCLE OF A BUTTERFLY~
We read another great story about the life cycle of a butterfly.
We then did a lesson on symmetry. Using a blank butterfly, we created symmetrical wings on the butterfly. The teacher would place a sticker on one side of the butterfly and gave a matching sticker to the child to place on the other side of the butterfly to make it symmetrical.
Today we helped Avery celebrate his April birthday! Avery's mom read the Dr. Seuss story, I Am NOT Going to Get Up Today!. We then enjoyed popcorn for Avery's birthday treat.
Happy Birthday, Avery!
EXTENDED DAY PRE-K~
Due to an afternoon fire drill, we did Technology today and will do Discovery on Thursday. We did the game, "Race to 100" on the SMARTBoard.
