These LIttles are doing a fantastic job each week in Target and Extension!
Unit:
We learned about Rebus puzzles, solved several, and created our own. The kids loved these puzzles! We read another chapter of Mondays with a Mad Genius, learning about Renaissance clothing. The kids watched a cool video about a clock that daVinci invented. We followed that up with a lesson about telling time to the hour. We'll expand on this each week to build time telling skills. The kids designed a bird cage after reading about this in our story. Then, they decided on one design to be built next week.
Stations:
We learned a new game this week, Clack. It involves convergent thinking and fast reactions. They loved it! We also continued our "I Wonder" research. We'll be sharing our findings next week. The kid used convergent thinking again to create Pattern Block designs to match the pictures.
Affective Skills:
We watched Giraffes Can't Dance. This story describes how each of us has our own talents and dances to our own tunes. The kids enjoyed this and the discussion about how it relates to our special talents.
We extended our Mindfulness Practice with "Mini the Puppy"-Zen Den. The kids like a few minutes of quiet to rest after a busy morning.
Until next time,
Dr. Kraeger
