We are having some fun in math this week!
Feeding our Shape Monsters…
Counting Candy Corn…
Filling our Tens Frame…
We finished our first art show project this week…. Here is a sneak peak for you!
We practiced our math goal of sorting by sorting squares and circles! This is just the beginning of our sorting practice and we will be having fun with all sorts of things!
To kick off our science study on the Pond Habitat, we started learning about the duck this week! We also built it into our alphabet study as we learned about the letter D.
For our science study, we learned that ducks have a special oil gland in their skin that keeps their feathers dry! We got to explore this by putting a little oil on our ducks and spraying them with water. We saw the water bead up as the oil prevented the duck being soaked by water.
We practiced counting by counting 5 ducks and sang the 5 Little Ducks song!
We explored some sensory play in our pond buckets which was a definite class favorite!
And to work our fine motor skills we had a duck race!
This week was all about reviewing the first 3 letters we have learned! We got to review in some really fun ways!
We celebrated our first Book Party in Preschool! This was such a fun day and our students had such a blast with this! All day, our activities were revolved around the book. We read the story, discussed the days of the week, practiced tracing lines by helping the caterpillar get to his food, and colored a picture. We made a very hungry caterpillar by sponge painting and we retold the story by feeding the caterpillar all of his foods while counting them as we fed him! And our favorite activity was during snack time. We used “caterpillars” and put holes in our food just like the caterpillar did to eat them!
Week two of our sight word study is in full swing. We are exploring the word…IS! Some of our students are focusing on the letters i and s in the word along with the sounds they make, while others are using their new sight word while reading simple text, building simple sentences and using it in their writings.
We’re having fun chanting, cheering, dancing and singing our way to a strong sight word base that will grow strong early readers!
