This week in Early Pre-K Class

Dear parents,

Our class had a lot of fun this week while having different conversations and doing a lot of activities.

Large group: In our large group this week we had different board messages. The kids had a chance to write the missing numbers (1-10), we also played the game from last week since the kids like it, where each kid has a shape flash card and one by one, they come up and stick it on the board when it’s called. Moreover, we had a great discussion about recycling since we are establishing our new center ‘Makerspace’ and we encouraged one another to bring more recycling material so we can start creating different things.

Math: This week we started a new topic in math which is measurement. Our focus in the measurement topic for this week was comparing big and small things and using the terms bigger than and smaller than.

Cooperative game: The cooperative game seemed to be the kid’s favorite activity for this week. We had a water fun activity where we started by washing out the bikes and soon everyone started splashing each other with water! The water and the giggles filled the playground that day.

Clay: This week our class had fun time going to the clay center and creating different things!

Science: we started our session by reviewing the different types of animals we covered in the past month then we learned about a new type of animals which is ‘Birds’. The kids were very happy learning about the different names of birds there are and also hearing their sounds on the speaker.
