Learning Tales: Last Weeks Learning

Last Week’s Learning

September 15-19

“Look deep, deep into nature and then you will understand

everything better.” Albert Einstein

Einstein’s quote best describes last week’s learning in the RES preschool classrooms! With autumn quickly approaching, treasures from our outside world are plentiful! Our young scientists connected with various raw materials from mother nature as they learned new vocabulary, completed experiments, and made observations/predictions and PATTERNS!

Mathematicians also noticed and created PATTERNS by creating BOY, GIRL PATTERNS, and WIDE/NARROW Rectangle PATTERNS! PATTERNS are everywhere, on our clothes, in our classroom and can be found outside on the playground!

The Alphabet Train is also in full operation! Passengers boarded the train and chugged off to Florida! Upon arriving in the warm climate, state SAM announced,”Hey we can’t stay here our passengers have hats and scarves,they will be too hot! Let’s get out of town and go somewhere cold!” All 26 passengers quickly departed to the North Pole!

BEN uses his strong fingers and pretends his fingers are a bird’s beak as he DISSECTS SEEDS FROM A SUNFLOWER BLOSSOM.

Scholars used scissors to snip the HORSETAILS into beads. Can you find the PATTERN on the HORSETAILS?

HORSETAILS are HOLLOW and can be used to make many things…

Scholars KNEADED and rolled CLAY into a ROUND ball. Next preschoolers rolled the clay balls flat. The clay worked as “glue” and held nature treasures in place.
