K PREP GRADUATION PRACTICE IS UNDERWAY

Hands-on activities in math are vital for young learners. Using hands-on activities in math helps children to take an active part in their learning. Using hands-on lessons in our K prep classroom allows our students to use a variety of senses which encompasses all different types of learning styles (and makes learning fun!!) Creating an environment where children get to explore and master skills is so vital. Introducing addition and subtraction into our classroom allows the kids to “play” with the concept and hear the vocabulary they will hear in a more formal way in Kindergarten and 1st grade building an early foundation for them to build on through the year.

Students love STEM challenges! The K Prep Enrichment class accepted the challenge to create the longest paper chain using 1 sheet of construction paper.  A variety of strategies emerged as each student came up with a plan to make the longest paper chain. Some students tried small rings, long rings,  and some even tried different types of rings to construct their chain. Thomas was our winner of the longest paper chain, his strategy was to create a chain with the skinniest pieces of paper he could cut.  Way to go Thomas!

Everyone loves a playdate, but the kids want to have them more than parents like to host them. Let us play host this summer . . . that means no mess, no noise, no cleanup and no negotiations about who gets to come over. We have decided that summertime at Creative Tots should be more about what the kids want. The kids want to play.  The kids want to see their friends. The kids have spoken and we have listened. They think that anything to do with “camp” might just be a little too much like school. Let your kids explore they way they are built to explore . . . through playing in the summertime with their friends.

We are 100 Days Smarter!

We poured, mixed and shaped our very own gingerbread man in K Prep today. Once he was ready, we put him in the oven to bake while we were outside at recess. When we came back in to check on him, he had popped out of the oven! Loose in the school, he left clues for us to find him. We finally found him fast asleep in our tower with treats for us to enjoy and to take home!
