Good Afternoon!

Our PREK1 friends came to the sign in board today where they were asked to find their name and identify the number on the back of their card. Once they identified their number, they looked for the corresponding arrangement with their number. We started talking about how we can separate the configuration and add the numbers instead of counting all of the items. For example, Hannah’s configuration had two rows of 5. So we added 5 and 5 together to get 10 instead of counting every shape.

K.NS.6: Recognize sets or 1 to 10 objects in patterned arrangements and tell how many without counting.

This morning we took advantage of some indoor gross motor activities to get our bodies moving.  On the building rug, kids danced with scarves and played musical instruments.

Other kids made obstacle courses and balanced on bounce blocks.

We added some new materials to the art center to experiment with like paper plates and yarn.  The kids came up with many creative solutions. 

Breakfast– Kix with fresh pears.

Lunch– Peanut butter on whole wheat flatbread, fresh mango/pineapple/apple/clementines, and fresh pepper/cucumber.

PM snack– Whole wheat bagels with cream cheese

Wee Sprout– Fresh cucumber/pepper.

Have a lovely night!

This morning, friends brought trucks to the habitrail slide and went down together with their trucks! We also drove trucks along wooden ramps and blocks.

In the kitchen, we engaged with green cylinders and pom poms. As we played, we pushed pom poms in the cylinders and tried pulling them back out.

Then, one of our friends pulled down the shakers so other friends joined in. Miss Audrey played various shaker songs for us to play along to, and Rose and Diana joined in with us too!

Happy Monday!

**Reminder: Wee Friends will be closed on Friday, April 3rd for Good Friday.

We kicked off the week by starting to talk about singular and plural nouns in our PREK1 sign in. We read a sentence together and using context clues, children determined which noun completed the sentence. As we read the sentence, we inserted both nouns into the sentence to see which one made sense.

K.W.6.1a: Nouns/Pronouns—Writing sentences that include singular and/or plural nouns (e.g. dog/dogs, cat/cats)

Over the past week, we have been reading Anansi stories.  These are re-telling’s of old African folk tails about Anansi the spider.  He is the“trickster” in these humorous stories.  The kids have really liked them so we just got a few more to add to our classroom library.

This morning, we offered an art activity involving a mixed media technique.  Some of our kids have been interested in mixed media and we have talked a few times about what that means.  Today, we tried making drawings with oil pastels and then used water color to paint over the top of our drawings.  We observed the way the oil resisted the watercolor creating interesting effects.

Please enjoy a few more pictures from out day!

Breakfast: Whole wheat toast with butter/cinnamon and fresh pears.

Lunch: Whole wheat pasta with shredded pork, fresh clementines/pears/bananas and fresh cucumber/peppers/snap peas.

Good afternoon!

This  morning a friends shared that they had an idea for a project.  The idea was to make a model of our classroom.  We talked about what materials we could use to make this idea into a reality.  We found some cardboard, paper towel rolls and matboard scraps.  We brain stormed and problem solved with some of our interested kids until we had a plan.  A teacher used the big scissors to cut the cardboard shapes out shapes the kids asked to start building with, but otherwise they worked as an independent small group.  Friends demonstrated some amazing teamwork and collaboration as they made models of our classroom round table, art table, counter, sink, refrigerator, cabinets, island, chairs and even the rice cooker!  The project went on all morning and one friend shared that they would be working on it for “another day and then another day after that”:)  During this child lead building project, kids were also building their  executive planning skills, creative problem solving skills, social emotional development, fine motor development,  plus their ability to reason and learn through trial and error,  

We hope you enjoy a few more pictures from our day!
