This week in pre-K we have been learning about mammals. We have learned that they are special kind of animal that breathes air, has a backbone, grows hair/fur, and is warm-blooded. They also feed their babies with milk from their mothers. Our children are realizing they are mammals too!
In morning message I have been starting our sentences with lower case letters allowing the children to spot the error and notice it needs a capital letter to begin. They have also telling me the type of punctuation that it needs.
In literacy we have been differentiating what is/is not a mammal. We have also separated sentences into words and understanding that sentences are comprised of words separated by spaces.
In math we have used objects/pictures to subtract objects from sets of 0-5, recognize patterns, while connecting math to the real world. We have also created and extended patterns.
Students in the Criminal Investigations class have been learning about the state medical examiner's job. The pictures show students performing autopsies on pigs to determine the cause of death.
