PK 4.3 - Weekly Newsletter
Dear parents,
This week we worked on investigations to expand their ideas, find answers to questions, and learn important skills and concepts connected to the features of clothes.
We discussed different sizes in clothing, shapes and designs or patterns that we see in clothes and even taking a look at details like pockets, buttons and stretch bands.
We noticed that some clothes had either numbers, letters and drawings to represent their size and we made a graph after we figured out the sizes of our shirts!
During the week, we included new and different things in all our centers, and everyone was so excited and engaged! In the Dramatic Play Area we added hangers and the clothes you shared with us this week (Thank you!!). In the Blocks Area, we added measuring tape and other non-standard measuring tools. Our Discovery Area, has a fabric sample to explore and compare textures and we will keep enhancing our interest areas to better support the kids learning.
What can you do at home?
At home you can examine fabrics together, and discuss how clothes are made. Look at labels and find out where the clothes were made. Look at pictures from the past and note how the clothing differs from clothing today.
Next week, even though is going to be a short one for the kids, we will move on to our Investigation #2 and do many things related to the way we take care of our clothes!
Objectives of the Week:
· Uses number concepts and operations
· Compares and measures
· Demonstrates knowledge of the alphabet
- Demonstrates knowledge of patterns
Have a nice weekend!!!
