Exploring our 5 Senses, Sorting and P, Q and R!

January has been shaping out to be a very eye-opening month for our 3 and 4 year olds.  We have been learning how to explore with our 5 senses. We were introduced to our 5 senses by playing with home made play dough. The students smelled, touched, listened, looked and imagined tasting the play dough. Here are some words we used to describe what we experienced: salty, pink, smooth, no sound, thump, doughy.  We also borrowed a popcorn machine from one of families and saw how popcorn popped right before our eyes! We used our 5 senses again to explore the properties of popcorn.  Here are some words we used to describe what we experienced: soft, salty, white and yellow, crunch, pop, pop, pop, fluffy, mmmmmmm.

Our letter of the week was 'P' so that made our week even more eventful with play dough and popcorn! 

The following weeks we had fun with 'Q' and quilt making and 'R' while making a Rainbow Reflection.  The students learned about the word reflection and were using it throughout the day.  We are so proud of our Little Alim's as they can all write the letters P, Q and R, some of our students even attempted the lower case letters as well! We gave ourselves a HUGE pat on the back for that big accomplishment.

In math we are learning about sorting and classifying objects. We had fun this week noticing things that were the same and different.

What a great first week back we've had! After a refreshing break, our little fishes were happy to come back to our little learning pond!

This week we've been busy at work creating the letter N out of Noodles and learning first hand how to string beads on Necklaces. We love seeing how excited they get mastering these tasks. Each bead is a huge accomplishment to them and we want to make sure they know how proud we are of the work they do.

We're also starting to talk about the big number 6 and how we can sort piles of 6 similar objects together. Stay tuned to see what other exciting learning we do throughout the month!
