The beginning of kindergarten is such a magical time! The kids are diving in and really getting to know their way around the classroom. They are always so excited and curious to find out what they can explore. At the beginning of the year, we are careful to add new activities slowly.
Play time (also called Centers) is a great time to build cooperation skills, but we also encourage the story-telling aspect.
Playdough is great for building the important muscles in our fingers and is a staple in the kindergarten classroom!
We love art! We've just started introducing new types of paint. Ask your child if they remember The Dot. It was a book we read this week and we'll be painting lots of dots soon!
The kids LOVE building with Polydrons. We have these in many classrooms and kids have opportunities to build 3D shapes.
We are learning to build and play with our math manipulatives. Soon we will be using these for lots of math stations.
Our home center is one of the favorites. Kids play house, coffee shop, and restaurant. They make up their stories as they go along.
We are getting to know our materials in the classroom and we're showing that we know how to be respectful!
Happy learning!
