Don't forget to sign up for a Spring Parent Teacher Conference by Friday if you would like to schedule a conference. :)
Here are a few highlights from our day!
We learned how to play a new game today! Rock, paper, number! In this game, each person chooses a number (instead of rock, paper, or scissors) and shows the quantity of the number with their fingers. Then, the partners work together to count how many total fingers they are showing. This game allows the children to practice number and quantity matching, one to one correspondence, and counting. Before we played it with our friends, we practiced the game with Mrs. Douglas.
During Jesus time we sang songs praising Jesus for suffering on the cross and rising again! I love to hear the children sing praises to God! The Lord lives in their hearts for sure!
The children enjoyed playing rock, paper, number with their partners!
We also were visited by Samantha; she was the Principal for the day! She played the game with us too!
The children enjoyed using the screwdriver to loosen the screws to see what we could take out. We discussed that we only take things like this apart when we have permission. This activity allows the children a hands-on experience in exploration, reasoning, and critical thinking!
We started working on another collaborative classroom art piece inspired by Piet Mondrian. We used black lines to make squares and rectangles, just like Mondrian. We will then paint one of the squares a color that we noticed in his artwork. The children are learning to work together and to compliment each other on their hard work!
We traced/rubbed pennies in the writing center. We made observations about what we saw in our tracings such as letters and numbers. We also used our tracing of the pennies to make our own creations such as snowmen, people, and balls!
We started using yarn to make electric wires in our city! We worked together to staple the 'lines' to the different buildings. We discussed how the bus might not need electric lines because we don't see electric lines on buses that we see.
Oliver and and Andrew independently reviewed the alphabet together. They are developing as readers!
