Hello Preschool Families,
Today we wrapped up our curriculum surrounding bugs. This week we created a KWL chart. At the beginning of the week we stated the things that we already knew and wanted to learn about it. Today during circle we then created a list of things that we learned this past week. Attached you will find a picture of our KWL chart. Check it out! The children retained so much information! AMAZING!
Attached you will also find a picture [from yesterday] of the preschool friends and Lauren observing our new classroom pet. We found a spider in our classroom! (so convenient) we decided to name it Minnie. We researched what pet spiders could eat, and we learned that they love bananas and sausages! We gave Minnie a piece of banana because the children all thought she looked hungry!
To make a transition into next week, we read the book Bob and Otto. This book was about a worm and a caterpillar who are best friends. We focused mainly on the worm today since Lauren will be talking about metamorphosis next week. The children seemed to really enjoy this book. I highly suggest going to the library and renting out this book! It teaches facts about worms and caterpillars but also how to be a great friend.
We hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
