It was another busy week in
Pre K! We continued our insect unit (finishing with bees, looking at insects in
general, and talked about ants and ladybugs), and had a fun yellow day! J We also celebrated
Kayla’s birthday (HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAYLA!!!)
This week we…
*learned the sound, hand
motion and letter formation for the letter Yy.
*added yellow yarn
to our feely letter Yy.
*brainstormed words that
began with Yy and added them to our alphabet journals.
*chopped and diced mango,
bananas, peaches and pineapple and mixed in yogurt to make “Yummy, Yellow
Yogurt”. (Can your child sing the song to you? The tune is “Apples and
Bananas” I like to eat, eat, eat, yummy yellow yogurt....)
*learned about Vincent van
Gogh and painted yellow sunflowers just like his famous painting.
*caught and counted little yellow
ducks in the water table.
*practiced programming our
“bee bot” around obstacles.
*played a matching game
with letters and sounds.
*sang “Mr. Sun,” “Twinkle
Twinkle Little Star,” “6 Little Ducks,” and “You are My Sunshine.”
*used great speaking and
listening skills as we shared the contents of in school “Yellow Day” show and
tell. I am VERY proud of how the cuties did on this!
*helped set up and make
props for out “Ant Hill” dramatic play area.
*played Buggy Bingo and
practiced writing our numbers to 20.
*reviewed what we know
about bees and wrote in our creative writing journals.
*made a “What is an
insect?” book that the cuties can read to you!
*did some reading about
ants.
*made ant
habitats/colonies/hills with many different rooms.
*learned about the life
cycle and jobs that ants have, and compared them to what we know about the bee
life cycle and their home and jobs.
