I realized I haven't taken pictures during center time for awhile...but since my last post was all on the importance of "play" for kids, and how everything they do is "learning" at this age...here it is in action..although I wish I wrote more stuff down..because the stuff that comes out of their mouth to go along with these pictures is hilarious!
Our first project of the week (after reading Chicka Chicka Boom Boom...one of my FAVORITE stories...if you don't have it and you see it on sale I would grab it...I usually buy it for the kids for Christmas but it hasn't been on sale the last couple years!) was our coconut tree...I LOVED these pictures of their faces...they were so focused on their cutting.
Thurs. we made our rhythm sticks for "Music". We also played M&M math, and Texture Bingo.
The kids playing "texture bingo"...we played three in a row and "blackout".
We also played M&M math..they had to match up all the colors and then count them...

Then we made a graph of the colors in which we had the most M&M's. The kids do so well reading graphs and telling me which one had the most...the least, etc.
Sorting them all out (hopefully you all understand that this is a pre-math skill, sorting, colors, and counting
Sorry if your kids were on a sugar high today!! It was a fun, different way for them to learn
Afternoon friends playing Bingo.

There it is in a nutshell. We have a few more texture detective/coconut things to do next week. I receive Feb. order tomorrow so I will let you know what letter we will be learning.
Other things we practiced this week:
Hard in Spanish "Durro"
Soft in Spanish "Suave"
Coconut in sign language: hold your hands in a ball shape by your ear and pretend to shake a coconut.
Still focused on 6, octagon, and purple.
We have been working on rhymes....this is a hard concept that a lot of them just aren't getting...but they will. Try to read some rhyming books at home and point out all the rhymes.
We reviewed our 5 senses.
We learned the letter "M"-- sounds and sign language
We counted to 22 in Spanish and English
And much more...but that should give you enough to review with your child for the weekend!! Have a great week!
