Learning Goals
Learning Goals
I failed at taking photos during our academic times so here's a little about what we worked on the last week.
In math, we practiced comparing greater and less than using numbers 0-10. We also learned about a new math tool called a "rekenrek" or "number rack". We use this tool to count, represent numbers as 5 plus some more and identify pairs of numbers that make 10.
In number corner, we continued to extend our fall leaf patterns and add on one more leaf for each set. Our patterns focuses on the leaf colors, red, green, yellow, and brown as well as directionality, up, to the right, down, to the left. We also practiced finding missing numbers on a number line and writing numbers 1-10.
In literacy, we finished our alphabet unit! Students that have not yet mastered their letters and sounds will start a second round of lessons targeting this skill. Students that do know all (or almost all) of their letters and sounds are moving on to consonant-vowel-consonant (CVC) words.
Paint Party - Day 1
We learned about the author/illustrator Eric Carle. He has written many insect-themed books, including The Very Hungry Caterpillar, The Grouchy Ladybug, and The Clumsy Click Beetle. We learned how he creates his illustrations using painted paper that he collages together. We learned about warm and cool colors along with primary and secondary colors. We were then ready to create our own paper inspired by Eric Carle! We started on day 1 by painting large sheets of paper with complimentary colors and "scraping" some texture onto them.
Paint Party 1Paint Party 2Paint Party - Day 2
On day 2 we took our paper from the previous day and added a new layer to them. We used various objects (cars, trucks, bubble wrap, geometry shapes, sponge stampers, animal toys, blocks, etc) to add our layers. Our next step is to learn about insect body parts and cut out shapes from our painted paper (head, thorax, abdomen, antennae, 6 legs, eyes). All of this will be put together and used to make our kindergarten insect book! A HUGE thank you to our grown up volunteers for coming in to help!
