This week we talked about bears and the letter Bb. When we pretended to hibernate, we woke up in spring and had to plan what to play.
Thursday at 10am, we will meet at the Detroit Zoo, at the tunnel that leads from the parking area to the main entrance. It is down at the bottom of the map.
We will tour on our own and then meet at the play scape just west of the aviary at 11:30 for a snack. You are welcome to stay as long as you like. I will be leaving at 12noon because I have afternoon obligations at the elementary school, but the zoo is open until 4pm.
Some of the KDIs we worked on during our one day of preschool this week are-
Body awareness: Children know about their bodies and how to navigate them in space.- We did this during large group time as we moved to the song "Animal Action" and moved our bodies around.
Vocabulary: Children understand and use a variety of words and phrases.- The children were introduced to the words- hibernate, migrate and adapt- as we talked about how animals get ready for winter.
Jesus Time- This week's story was "The Walls of Jericho". We have a mighty God who defeats our enemies for us of sin, death and the power of the devil. We are also beginning to work on our recitations and song for the Christmas program which takes place on Sunday, December 18th. More information on that to come.
Books of the Week- "Bear Has a Story to Tell" by Philip Stead and "Sleep, Black Bear, Sleep" by Heidi E. Y. Stemple and Jane Yolen.
Have a great week!! Only one day of preschool next week too! Happy Thanksgiving!!
Mrs. Schneck and Mrs. Dostal
