Pre-K STEM Happenings
Our theme for the month of April is Easter and space. We have spent time discussing the Earth, sun, moon and solar system. This week we will focus on the stars and constellations. We will make our own constellations and do constellation lacing cards. On Thursday, we will discuss Earth Day and make a birdfeeder. For technology, our students continue to work on our Nail String Art project. It is a great way to showcase our developing hammer/nail skills. Also we will use the SkyView App to view constellations in the sky.
For math, we are continuing with number identifying, counting, writing numbers, graphing, more than/less than concept and patterns. We will continue working on the concept of addition, subtraction, skip counting, and greater than/less than. We will continue to discuss the concept of money and coins.
