The children listened to the story of Christopher Columbus and discussed his voyage. We looked at a world map to help the children understand the story, and they also learned the Continent Song. They did a project that depicted the three ships and, with some help, named them as well.
The children have begun to learn how to sort by attribute. Sorting and classifying objects not only teaches children about attributes and relationships, but also
promotes thinking logically and applying rules. Sorting and classifying exercises can also provide children with models for organizing things in the real world, such as putting blocks away, sorting laundry, or setting the table. They have been sorting buttons, keys, shells, and themselves! They have also been practicing writing their numbers and reading color words.
Writing center continues every week as the children continue to practice sounding out words and writing what they hear.
