Letters Here, Letters There
Do you know your lowercase letters? This week we practiced matching uppercase letters to their lowercase letters. We also practiced our letters with connect the dot activities.
Number Spider
This week we worked on addition using Number Spiders and Number Lines.
Architects
Materials at home are different from materials at school. This week, the children were asked to build something using anything in the house, and then draw a picture of the structure. Aidan created a building using chairs, and Nora created an underwater city using kinetic sand.
The children were also asked to test out the strength of different columns: triangular, cylindrical, and square. Nora predicted that her cylindrical column would hold the most books, and she was correct.
Can you fix it?
Can you put a flashlight together? When you put it together, does it light up? Hmmm….
Apparently Nora is a professional when it comes to flashlights. She takes her flashlight apart and puts it back together almost every night!
Dramatic Play
Nora received her protective mask this week and the first thing she did was set up a unicorn hospital. Dramatic play is a wonderful way for children to express their feelings and reenact what they see happening around them.
Are you ready for a magic trick?
Leo showed us his magic trick where he made a coin disappear!
Stalactites & Stalagmites
Have you ever seen stalactites and stalagmites? Do you sometimes forget which is which? A great way to remember is that stalactites hang tight from the ceiling and stalagmites stand mighty and tall on the ground.
At the end of this week, we began stalactite and stalagmite experiments, and we’ll document how things go over the weekend and next week.
