 PRE-K AUTHORS~

Shand was our first Pre-K author to share a book she created.  She will now take the book home to share with family.  Please help your child to remember to bring back his/her back after sharing it at home.  We will keep the books in our Book Nook for further reading/sharing.

 SPANISH~

 

 FREE CHOICE LEARNING~

Today children glued chocolate chips on our "CH" to help us remember what sound these 2 letters make when together.

 It was a cooperative group effort to put all the number tiles (1 through 100) into the right spaces.  What determination and perseverance!

 COLORS~

 We read a story today about rainbows--learned the order of the colors of the rainbow, what time of day it is best to look for a rainbow, etc.

 Using the color wheel, we discussed which colors are primary colors and which are secondary colors.

 Trying to see a rainbow in a prism held up to the light.

EXTENDED DAY PRE-K~

 During today's Second Step lesson with Mr. Cross, the children did 2 activities......

1.  Strawberry or Chocolate - the boys and girls were asked if they like chocolate or strawberry and then we discussed how it's alright to like different things. We did the same thing with a sunny day and snowy day. 

2.  Looking at a Picture  - We looked at the attached picture and talked about how each child feels. The kids said that Lynn was sad and wanted to play with the blocks. We decided that Robbie was happy because he was playing with the blocks. Then we talked about how Lynn could be happy. The kids said that she could ask politely to play. I then asked, "What if Robbie says no?" The kids said she can play something else or she can watch. Then I asked, "Does that mean that Robbie doesn't want to be friends with Lynn?" The kids replied no, he just wants alone time.
