NEW WORK STATIONS~
We introduced new Work Stations today. Below is a description of each...
At the Writing Station, children will practice writing their first and last names (using appropriate upper and lower case letters).
At the Lily Pad, children will practice their spatial reasoning skills on Geoboards. Using a card, children recreate the shape on the card on to the Geoboard.
At Math Magic, children work on a number line. Beginning with numbers 1 through 10, children cut apart the numbers (see picture below) and then....
...glue them in correct numerical order.
The children then move on to the next ten numbers--11 through 20. Once those numbers have been cut apart and put in order, the children move on to the next ten numbers--21 through 30. This is as far as children are required to go. However, children can continue, putting numbers in order up to 100!
At the Alphabet Station, children create a rhyming flip book.
The first picture is a mouse. Children are to think of something that rhymes with mouse and then....
...draw it on the inside. Children are also asked to label their pictures using inventive spelling.
At the Discovery Station, children create a rocket that they can make fly!
OUTER SPACE~
Today we read a book about astronauts and how they survive when they are in Outer Space--on a space shuttle or living at the International Space Station.
We tasted astronaut ice cream! Ask your child how it is different from ice cream we eat on Earth.
After we sample astronaut ice cream, we watched two short video clips of astronauts in Outer Space.
The video pictured below was astronauts walking on the Moon.
The astronaut pictured below demonstrated how and where he sleeps on the International Space Station.
WEEK OF THE YOUNG CHILD~
You should have received a note (pictured below) in your child's folder today. Please read over the note which asks you to complete the bottom portion and return to school by Monday, April 13th. On Friday, April 17th, we are inviting Pre-K parents to enjoy a morning snack with your child to start our day.
