First week in PK!

Although our first week in PK was only three days, it was fantastic!  

 





We learned a lot in the first two weeks of school. A lot of guided discoveries and "getting to know yous". Lots of new faces and new places. So much we've learned...so much more to learn.

Academically, we delved right in. Here's what we did:

Math & Science

We gathered 20 small bears and seven large bears. We put all seven of the large bears on one side of the scale, and the small bears on the other side, adding them one by one. We discovered that there were less of the bigger bears, but since they were so big, we needed three times as many small bears to balance the scale.

We learned a new math game called, Bear Tracks, and got a chance to play with a partner. In this game, we rolled a number cube and moved our bears along the track according to the number we rolled. We also sorted the math bear manipulatives by size and color.

 

Art

We painted and created picture frames for a bulletin board outside our classroom door. We also used various materials to complete other art activities.

 

Community

We met in Clifton and were introduced to all of the Lower School faculty and staff. We learned all about our school; saw lots of different places, met new friends, and are learning about how to get along as a group.

 

We also met our Senior Buddies. We had so much fun with them, that when it was time for them to go to lunch, we were a little sad to see them go! We were relieved when we found out we would have other opportunities to spend time with them.
