Our Day with The Coach!

Ever wondered what happens in our sessions? Well, here is a sneak peek at just a few of the skills and concepts we work on throughout our day with The Kindergarten Coach.


We begin our day with a short meet and greet followed by the Pledge of Allegiance, Hawai'i Pono'ī, calendar math activities, the weather and an introduction of the day's activities.


Most days there is a topic we focus on. This one is introducing turkeys!

After our topic is introduced and we move on to our activities for the day. We divide them up into three main areas: Language and Literacy:

We work on both uppercase

and lowercase letters!

We also ask lots of probing questions like:
and:


Math and Science 



There is always lots of counting! Here we are also measuring.

We learn about geometric shapes and how we can use them to build really cool things.

We love to experiment and make predictions. Do you know what color it will be after we mix them?

Sometimes we just observe ongoing projects and record them in our science journal.




Art and Fine Motor


We love to paint.  A real work of art!

Sometimes we make art with our names. This skill also helped with fine motor and math since we had to tear the paper and count the letters in our names!


Our art knows no bounds and here we were able to work on patterns with our rainbow fish.

By the end of the day we have a review of what we've learned and before you know it, it's time to go!


See you next time!
