Our week began by exploring the strength of magnets. The children learned about how magnets ATTRACT materials containing iron. After teaching a lesson, I heard a student telling another student that it (the magnet) attracted the paper clips because they had iron. Today we made "collections". I gave each group of 4 students a pile of objects. Their task was to group them into a collection of things that were alike. Most of the children began sorting the groups into collections by color, but a few students began sorting the objects by like kinds...all the cars, all the cats, etc. Again, I heard a student talking about her COLLECTION. Throughout a persons life, they learn the meaning of new words...this is also true about the pre-k students in the ladybug classroom!
