The PreK students had the opportunity to discover the parts of a sunflower up close in our science study. We dissected the sunflowers we had in our classroom for a closer look. We also learned how to properly use a magnifying glass during science discovery.
Discovering the Veins in the Leaves
Investigating Inside the Stem
Teamwork
We reviewed and practiced number recognition 0-10 along with one-to-one correspondence in our math groups this week. We also practice writing our numbers 0-10 using our dry erase markers.
We continued reading our book, I JUMP in reading groups this week. This book introduced us to the sight word the and I. We practiced using our “magic” reading finger while we pointed to the words that we read. By the end of the week we were able to identify the sight words we knew as well as use the first reading strategy we learned (use the picture to give us a clue about an unknown word). The students did a WONDERFUL job and I’m very proud of them. GREAT GREAT JOB KIDS!
I introduced the Word Wall to the Pre-K students this week. I started with the words that the kids know the best…their own names. They each added their own name then we added the two sight words we learned this week in our reading group book, I Jump…I & the. Watch for these words in the books you read this weekend and have your child point them out to support their sight memory of those words.
We discovered the power of magnets during our art experience today. We also discovered mystery names in our watercolor paintings…it was a day of discovery!
