Ice is Nice

We had such a fun week exploring ICE. Pre-k kids always have some interesting ideas about ice, and when we encounter so much of it in the woods (!) the ideas start flowing. This week we followed some of these ideas, and worked and played exploring the different properties of ice. There is so much interest and still some misconceptions, so we'll continue to explore and learn about ice until the excitement fades. A great way to document children's thinking in school is through the Floor Book method. This essentially means capturing kid's thinking in a big book. You can see the start of our floor book below. Once we understand what children are thinking (as captured on the pages) we teachers can create activities that engage their interests and extend their conceptual understandings. You can look more closely at the pages of our floor book when you drop off your kiddos in the morning. Boy oh boy, pre-k is fun! Enjoy the pictures to learn more: Here is the start of our floor

Chicks are Here!

What an exciting week - our chicks have hatched! We had a pretty good incubation with 7 out of 12 hatching. The peeping in the classroom is charming, and chick excitement is high. Ask your child all about our chick adventures, and check backpacks for a special present the chicks left for the class last night. As we wind down the school year you'll see lots of projects/items coming home in your child's backpack. We still have a little "lost and found" box in the classroom if you're missing anything specific. We teachers have had such a wonderful year playing and learning with your children. This is a special group of kiddos, and boy are we going to miss them next year! THANK YOU for entrusting us with their care this school year, it has been a true honor. Enjoy the pictures from the week! My favorite birthday card of all time :) Some guitar time together Our last self portraits of the year! Keep your eyes peeled for our final product coming home next week. T

Here we go!

And away we go! What a pleasure it is to start forming relationships with your wonderful children. During the first days and weeks of pre-k we spend so much time getting to know one another, along with our classroom rules and routines. Exploration is a central theme as we slowly introduce more and more materials. Here are a few things we've learned about so far: Where to put backpacks and jackets, where the toilet is, and how to wash hands How to clean up from snack and lunch (sorting waste is an ongoing task!) Circle time routines How to paint on the easel, use watercolors and scissors How to be safe when using shovels and rakes (ask your child about the safety circle) How to be gentle when holding live animals - lots of practice with worms How to gather when called (we howl like a coyote and the children come running!) Boundaries for the woods and playground How to take care of blocks and plastic animals at our outdoor block area As you can see, your kids have been hard at work!
