1/20 Classroom Update

This week, we learned about the letter K and focused on shapes. During circle time, we practiced our shapes in Spanish, built shapes using other shapes, built and drew Mat Man as a team, made a chart of words that begin with K, and read lots of fun books about kites and wind. During center time, we raced a timer to match shape puzzles, completed shape sorts, molded different shapes out of playdough using many different tools, made a K into a kangaroo for our letter books, practiced writing the letter K, and made paper bag kites. The AM class was able to fly their kites in the gym this morning, and the PM class will get to fly their kites soon!

During circle time, we met Mat Man, and practiced building and drawing him. Here you can listen to the Mat Man Song, as well as watch Mat Man being built: Mat Man Song. This song/activity builds both body awareness and helps preschoolers learn how to draw people.
