Today we talked about food! Reading the old Russian Folktale The Bun, by Marcia Brown, led us into making our own bread! Everyone was very good at kneading and the bread turned out delicious! For art we also colored and created our own cookie sheets.

One of our centers this week is a dramatic play kitchen center. We have place settings and menus so the kids can pretend they are in a restaurant. Here is a great website with some free printable menus if you would like some for your house!

Preschool at Kozy Heart isn't all about wacky water day and Mr. Frosty... check out these fun new math centers for this week! 
Picture
Math Sticks: Roll the dice, and count out that many toothpicks. After you have the right number of toothpicks, you can make a picture with them!
Picture
Bump! Roll the dice, add them up, then place your cube on the number, if another player rolls the same number, they can BUMP you off! Goal is to use all of your cubes up first.

Getting Along!

This week we will be talking about friends, and how we can all get along.  Here are the lesson plans. 

Today we started some new math centers! Our soon to be kindergartners are really doing well with their numbers, and going above and beyond what is expected at the activity. Our younger students are doing a great job learning their numbers, and listen very well when the big kids help them out.

Along with our journal center, we also have some new literacy stations. We continue to be impressed with the development of everyone's emerging reading and writing skills!

Today we read Bob's Toolbox Mix-up by Kiki Thorpe and talked more about building. Then we created our own tools and tool belts, so we could be just like Bob!

Since summer is a time to enjoy the beautiful Michigan weather, we try not to spend too much time inside. However, we want to make sure students are still developing and improving math and literacy skills every single day. In the morning and afternoon, we have center time; in the morning it focuses on literacy, and on math in the afternoon. 

The centers change every week (sometimes more), and we try to incorporate our theme of the day/week.
