Fall weather is here!! A little chilly and windy today, but we listened to waves and imagined ourselves on the beach as we talked about oceans today. We are listening to the many different sounds of Oo, seeing how Oo is written and experiencing different things to do with oceans.
Some of the KDIs we are concentrating on this week are-
Reflection: Children reflect on their experiences.- This week we are trying to figure out why we changed our plan of play or if we didn't change, how we played. We are thinking about why we make the choices we do.
Alphabetic knowledge: Children identify letter names and their sounds. - We are continuously working on knowing the letters at the beginning of each child's name and the sound it makes. We are also exploring the many different sounds vowels make.
Patterns: Children identify, describe, copy, complete, and create patterns.- We have a four color pattern on our calendar and the students are very adept at recognizing what comes next. November will soon be here and we will have a new pattern to figure out.
Art: Children express and represent what they observe, think, imagine, and feel through two- and three-dimensional art- We are coloring and painting with the underwater world in mind, doing our best and trying to do it ourselves!
Jesus Time- This week our stories are about Moses. We start out with Moses as a baby, hidden by his mother, put in a little boat to float on the Nile where Miriam watches over him. He is drawn out of the water by an Egyptian princess. Raised by both his mother and his royal mother, God is preparing him to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. God uses our life experiences to prepare us to do his will, we are all given gifts to use in His service!
Books for the week- "Somewhere in the Ocean" by Jennifer Ward and T. J. Marsh, "Swimmy" by Leo Lionni, "The Three Little Fish and the Big, Bad Shark" by Ken Geist and Julia Gorton and "The Rainbow Fish" by Marcus Pfister.
The note for the Detroit Zoo Attendance will be coming home on Wednesday.
Thanks and have a great week!!
Mrs. Schneck and Mrs. Dostal
