Today one of our kinders was brought to Library by our principal, Mrs. Schlein. He had brought back a ticket from the PTA fundraiser and his name was drawn to ride in the "principal taxi." After all that excitement we read a book called "Falling for Rapunzel." The class was thrilled when the damsel in distress kept hearing the prince incorrectly and launched several icky objects down to him. After reading the story, we practiced retelling it using the beginning, middle and end. We also talked about what a fairy tale community would need to function and then made those items. Our community is now filled with power lines, school busses, gardens, forests, dress shops, and schools.
Our math lesson was so much fun today. We put our shape blocks in a sock then took turns grabbing one shape at time from the sock. The kids guessed what shape they had pulled and then we recorded how many times each shape was pulled. The pulling of shapes from the socks produced several squeals of delight and I thought, "Wow, kids could do this at home with letters, numbers, coins, or shapes." Try throwing some letters in an old sock (preferably long, and clean) and take turns guessing what letter is in your hand. Have some fun with it and let me know how it works when you write in the Home-School notebook. Enjoy the weekend!
