This week we are learned all about My Family, Your Family, and Pets! During our large group time we discussed the importance of family, “Who is in a family?”, “What do you think makes a family?”. We pointed out similarities and differences in the types of families represented in the classroom. To increase our math learning we graphed who had pets and what types of pets. My Family, Your Family, and Pets Learning Objectives:
  • Participate in group music activities.
  • Begin to identify similarities and differences.
  • Identify letters in name; Recognize her name in print.
