On Monday, we talked about the letter "R" and works that start with R- such as Rodeo. We talked about what a rodeo is, the events in a rodeo, and a bit of the history behind rodeos. Some of the kids knew all about rodeos. Then we went out back and had our own barrel race on a stick horse. A few kids just wanted to ride an imaginary horse instead. It was fun to watch the kids gallop around our "barrels" in lots of creative patterns!
Next we practiced writing the letter "R" and identified objects that start with "R".
After snacks we worked on the shape of the week- square. They could all recognize and identify a square by name, so we talked about what properties a square has and what makes it different from a rectangle. We used different sized craft sticks to experiment making squares and rectangles.
