Houses and Homes

This week we talked about houses and homes. We played the Mouse in the House game and worked on rhyming words.



We also created our own shape houses in art.

We are practicing a LOT of cutting lately!





Here's a few of the finished products, they were all so individual and unique!

We also built houses out of many different materials.

The Cuisenaire Rods are one of the most popular toys in our classrooms.

More houses...

Foam houses!

This was our birthday girl of the week drawing houses during writing center.

And we had plenty of opportunities for dramatic play and pretending.

I love this house, it was my daughter's and it has been loved for a LONG time! I need to add some people as ours have become a little worn.

Pre-K 1 painted boxes for a group activity to make houses.

It was messy, but the kids really loved designing their houses.

After they were dry we played with our houses!

We read this silly story more than once.

Ms. Amy shared a great sequencing activity to go with it!

We also did a house glyph! It was great for critical thinking since they had to look at the color representing each person and add who lived in their home to their houes.

Here's the finished product!

And here's one morning message I had to share, it's so precious! They added themselves in the house and I love their pre-k people!

We also discussed how people live all around the world, different types of homes, and homes where animals live. It was a busy week full of learning!
