Monkeyin’ Around in Pre-K!

This week we finished our spider unit. Here is a look at the week!

Centers

Language Arts- The children completed a beginning sound activity looking at the letter ‘s’ and corresponding picture.

Math- Spider patterns with manipulatives.

Art- Spider glyphs- The children were asked specific questions about spiders and had to build their own spiders based on their answers.

Fine motor- Weaving a spider web! This was a tricky task for many, but great practice to reinforce their fine motor skills.

Journals- The prompt this week was, ‘Spiders like to..’ The kiddos are starting to add more details to their pictures as they dictate their responses to me!

Enjoying the warm weather on the playground and exercising our bodies.

Spanish- This week in Spanish we celebrated Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead). We had a fiesta(party) in which we decorated and ate skull cookies. We also made Dia de los Muertos lanterns! The PK kids counted in Spanish Calabaza Semilas(pumpkin seeds) and even said what color the seeds were! Here is a link to a great YouTube site that has lots of great rhymes and songs in Spanish, some songs like, Mono Loco, Cinco Monitos, and A Mi Burro they can sing and even translate! https://www.youtube.com/user/ToobysSpanish
