a apple tree

This year the learning standards for my PK class include both upper and lower case letter identification.  Usually in the past I have focused on one or the other depending on if I was teacher Handwriting Without Tears or Jolly Phonics.  So after the success of the upper case letter collages, I began our fourth spiral of the alphabet with lower case letters.  For reference sake the first spiral was using the Starfall curriculum and their web resources (starfall.com), the second spiral was the upper case alphabet collage book, the third pass was working on our upper case letter writing using the Handwriting Without Tears curriculum, and now enter our fourth spiral:

M Monkey

Where I live there are four kinds of monkeys that we see nearly everyday. On the way to school or in the afternoons it is quite normal to see troupes of either shorter long tail macaques. And if we are especially lucky we catch sight of a gibbon or langur high in the branches of a tree. When I first chatted with the class about monkeys they were most excited about the short tail macaques who tend to be the larger monkeys who are not skittish around people. And thus was born the M Monkey, or M Macaque. The children are quick to say that the monkeys LOVE garbage can messes.

S Snake

Snakes are a regular occurrence here in the jungle. We see snakes slither across our outdoor hallway with some frequency, so the kiddos have a personal connection to them. This was reflected in lots of patterns, smiles, and familiarity.

Plarn Project

The kiddos chose what they would like to decorate our screen wall with and a nautical theme won. Kelley fish and beta fish now grace our outdoor wall. The wind moves the plastic strips so nicely. The space has become so much more colorful and fun, hooray reusing!!
