I have talked to the families who signed up at Open House, but I wanted all of our families to have the opportunity to come into the classroom and share their career. If you are not able to come in, but still have a cool job or wear a uniform, e-mail me a pictures and I will share them with the kids.

PreK practiced their frog like skills this week. We learned about the frog life cycle by pretending to be an egg, hatching into a tadpole, then a froglet, and finally a frog. We used string to measure how far we can frog jump.
Our field trip to the farm was a huge success! It was great to hear the kids making connections from what they learn in school and applying it to real life. Although I think some of them were most impressed with the bus ride!
My favorite conversation this week was when four of the students were retelling the Three Little Pigs story. They were given puppets, straw, sticks (pipe cleaners) and bricks (blocks) to act out the story. The first student "built" her house of straw, then the big bad wolf came and blew it down! Straw went everywhere. I was scared, "Oh no! A wolf! What will the little pig do next?". She did not say, run to the next pig's house. She said, in a very matter of fact kind of way, "Clean it (the straw) up". I legitimately laughed out loud! I love PreK! We learned about living and nonliving things on the farm, read funny stories, and threw "hay".
As you already know, our school district has adopted a new math curriculum: Eureka Math. This week we introduced the concept of sccsubtraction in a PreK friendly way, by throwing hay! Each student made 5 "hay" bales (crumbled up yellow construction paper) and one at a time we threw them into the middle of the circle. It seems so simple, but the kids seemed to have fun! |
