This week was all about cats! It was inspired by the birthdays of the resident cats Pan and Tinker. Everyone here either has a real cat(s) or a stuffed animal cat, so we were excited about this. We learned about cats’ physical features and adaptations, what they like to do, that they are carnivores and reviewed the signs they give as to what their mood is.
We played Copy Cat games, read plenty of Pete the Cat (by Eric Litwin, James Dean and Kimberly Dean) books and watched a couple cute National Geographic kids videos to learn neat facts about cats.
We read Pete the Cat books that inspired a few of our activities this week; Pete the Cat: I Love My White Shoes, Pete the Cat and His New Magic Sunglasses, and Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons. These books have been great for reviewing colours and spelling colour words, for social learning, and for math concepts. Everyone did a Pete the Cat directed drawing, that was so fun to see the results of. They were so very cute! Everyone was given a foam t-shirt where they either glued on Pete’s four groovy buttons or created a subtraction sentence starting with Pete’s four groovy buttons.
Our letters this week were X and Y. The kids practiced making diagonal lines in their journals, with crayons and by gluing on paper lines.
The big kids started working on the “all” word family, as “all” words like Fall have been practiced informally and the kids seem interested in them.
We started working on 3D shapes this week. We listened to songs, went on a couple 3D shapes scavenger hunts, and sorted and compared them to 2D shapes.
