Our unit for the next few weeks will be FEELINGS. Listed below is the central idea and the lines of inquiry.
Feelings
The central idea
We use play to express our feelings and ideas in order to come to new understandings.
Lines of Inquiry
1. Making good choices through play
2. Imaginative use through everyday material
3. Communication through play
As a provocation for our unit we had pictures of the adults in PK3 showing different emotions. The children were able to name some of the emotions and they were able to connect with the pictures as to how they were feel through out the day.
Imaginative use of everyday material
We are using bubble wrap to create our art work.
We are using empty paper rolls to make tunnels.
Hand writing without tears
The informal handwriting program prepares children to hold a crayon, colour, and draw. Indirect preparation towards writing help children have a better grip on the writing instrument.
Learning is fun with our buddies
We learn so much from our buddies. We like to share our ideas and learn new ways of playing using various materials. Our buddies from Ms. Jakins class invited us to their class so that we could see the "Little Red Hen" and the different props they used. We made our own hand puppets and acted out some of the parts in our classroom.
Life skills
Mr. Prewitt focused on an important word during our life skills lesson "Thank You."
He read us three stories.
1.Paul's birthday
2.Joel's spaceship
3.Leah's mom
It would be great if you could ask them what took place in each scenario and how each person felt.
