Our week has been filled to the brim with everything over the clouds...literately. With each day we dig further and further into the world above. We started out Monday by making a new pattern strip using various sizes of crescents. From there the kids put their counting skills to the test and completed a fallow by number worksheet. They were rewarded in the end by realizing the numbers made the shape of the big dipper. We then went onto making our very own models of the solar system. Wednesday, our time was spent reading the story "If I could go to space". After, we made a bright and fiery sunshine while we sang the words to "Oh, Mr. Sun". Then Thursday came around and the kids were giddy with smiles while they put their creativity to work. Together, we created two new books. The first was a moon book, using tin foil to make the shape of a moon at each stage in an orbit. For the second book we put our thinking caps on and came up with objects that included the shape of a crescent in its original form. Our list consisted of a smile, moon, sail boat, and umbrella. Aside from all of our solar crafts, the kids have been hard at work continuing to learn their everyday skills. This week we really focused on following directions. We completed various worksheets that required everyone to listen closely so they would know what to do. Learning number six and letters I, N, and Y continued. We practiced the days of the week and worked a tad on finding the difference between the top, bottom, and middle of something.
All in all making for a pretty busy week here in preschool.
Have a great weekend!
