Happy Half Day!
Just a quick reminder that there is no school tomorrow. :)
This morning Victoria brought decorations for our classroom birthday party. We exercised our fine motor skills as we created the decorations.
Some of the friends played animals going to a birthday party today!
We then had fun playing outside!
Isaac was the alphabet helper today. We made our alphabet together filled with familiar people and items to help attach the letters to a familiar concrete person/thing.
During small group time, we played and roll and jump game to practice counting, quantifying, and one to one correspondence.
As I have said before, success for child is different! We celebrate each child's individual success in preschool. In this activity some children are successful as they quantify the dots on the dice. Some children are successful as they add two dice together. Some children are successful as they use one to one correspondence when counting. Other children are some children are successful as they practice using one to one correspondence with help.
We also continued to make decorations for our classroom!
We started working on patterning and sorting which are both foundational math skills.
We then worked on sorting as a whole group!
We then had our second free choice time! The skills we learn during small groups work to enhance our play! This is a great way for the children to put what they have learned into practice.
Playing birthday party.
Face painting at the party.
Some of the friends independently chose to review the alphabet!
During Jesus time we learned the story of Abraham and Sarah found in Genesis 12:1-9. We learned that God blessed Abraham and Sarah, and God blesses us with everything we need especially the gift of faith and eternal life through Jesus.
We then had time to go outside again! What a beautiful day!
Many of the friends played Sharkman- a game they created- together today! They are engaging in deep mature play! This is a goal of early childhood education!
