Yesterday, in small group, we read One Fish, Two Fish. Then we did some fish-y math activities.
We did some addition problems with goldfish crackers.
And we graphed. We LOVE graphs in preschool! Here's why: Graphs are compound activities. We can use this one activity to cover many mathematical standards. When we graph we are classifying, counting and comparing. Since preschool attention spans can be short, this is a great way to cover a lot of ground!
We had "One Fish, Two Fish jello" for snack.
We also read If I ran the Zoo by Dr Seuss; during art the children were given materials to create a picture of their zoo.
It was pretty messy.
Later in the afternoon the children made a "Zoo Fair".
During dramatic play children are building their imagination and social skills. They are learning to work together by sharing limited resources and space. They develop language skills by explaining what they are doing.

They were encouraged to build cages and choose what kind of animals would be in their zoo.
They made signs for the cages.
Yet another successful day in Pre-K.
