Good Afternoon!

Kids worked on a water color painting activity at the art enter this morning.  They arranged leaves and flowers on their paper.  Next, they added water color with an eye dropper.  When the paint dries, we will remove the leaves and flowers to see what imprints they left in our paintings. 

We set up an obstacle course since it was raining and kids were needing something physical to exercise those gross motor skills. 

PREK2: Today we practiced a tricky yoga pose from our cards called “Boat”. This pose strengthens the core while also allowing kids to practice balance.  We read the story “Click Clack Splash” .  At the end of the story, we each counted things we saw in the story.

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

Good Afternoon!

We continued to fill in our chart during PREK1 group and after reading ‘The Sandwich Swap’, friends were eager to talk about the book. There are two main characters in the book with a few secondary characters. There is quite the climax of an event in the story: a food fight! We always enjoy reading this part when we get to it. At the end, the school holds a potluck with food from all different countries. Children immediately noticed the flags of various countries and this prompted a friend to draw two flags that he knows from watching the World Cup this summer! We love when children bring their prior knowledge from home into the classroom!

K.RL.2.3: Identify important elements of the text (e.g. characters, settings, or events).

Our journals keep evolving: the details and ability to kid spell are amazing! Older friends are working with and identifying blends. A few friends are also starting to write their last name on their journal entry.

This morning, younger friends were particularly interested in a sensory/imaginative play activity exploring dry oats, apples, bowls, spoons and measuring cups.  Kids loved making pretend apple cakes, apple muffins and apple sauce.  They collected oatmeal and pretended to measure their ingredients as they filled their bowls.  Kids enjoyed creating play schemas with one another, often sharing space and utensils cooperatively.  What great social emotional skills these kids are developing as they play!

Older kids got interested in building three dimensional creations using recycled materials.  This activity was child driven, starting with one friend asking for materials to build a robot.  Another friend decided to make a “box of donuts” and another made a “treasure box”.  It’s exciting to see kids able to form complex plans and execute them three dimensionally!  This takes a great deal of higher level thinking like creative problem solving and executive planning, then pairing that with fine motor skills.  So much happens in the brain as kids imagine and build these kinds of creative projects.  

PREK2: We worked on some new yoga poses during group this morning that challenged our bodies with balance, deep breathing and coordination.  We also came up to the board after our story to find the first letter of our name, then put our name sticker next to it.

Breakfast: Oatmeal squares cereal with fresh cantaloupe.

Lunch: Cheese quesadillas on whole wheat tortilla, fresh strawberries/watermelon, and fresh cucumbers/snap peas.

PM Snack: Whole wheat bagels with cream cheese.

Wee Sprouts: Fresh cherry tomatoes/cucumbers.

Have a great day!

This morning we engaged with bean bags.  We listened to and followed along to several Bean Bag Dance songs and worked on balancing the bean bag on our head.

We then headed into the kitchen to engage in the light table with the translucent buttons and shapes.

We then headed outside to enjoy the beautiful Fall morning.  We engaged in digging in the sand, riding and walking bikes up and down the hill, engaged with the sea animals at the table, walked baby dolls around in the cart and drew with chalk on the chalkboard.

Breakfast:  Whole grain cinnamon raisin bagels with cream cheese and fresh apple.

Lunch: Whole grain wheat penne pasta with black beans, fresh cantaloupe and cherry tomatoes.

Happy Monday!

We kicked off the week in our kindergarten curriculum by talking about the important aspects of how a story is created: characters, setting, and events. I had a collection of three MACK stories that each child could choose from. They both chose ‘I’m The Best’ and identified all of the characters they remembered. They wrote their names and by the end of their sign in, they both had remembered all of the characters.

K.RL.2.3: Identify important elements of the text (e.g. characters, settings, or events).

For our PREK1 sign in, we used ‘Tacky In Trouble’ to aid in our sign in. Each child came to the sign in board to write their name under the main character in the story. We used this book later on in the day for our group story.

When we were done reading the story in group, children worked together to fill in the chart. We’ll read a different book each day and fill in the chart for that day, working with identifying the characters, the setting, and a few important events.

K.RL.2.3: Identify important elements of the text (e.g. characters, settings, or events).

This morning, a friend asked if he could make a puppet.  We got out some materials the kids could use like yarn, tape, glue, scissors and round pieces of cardstock.  Kids mostly used yarn for hair, though one child used his yarn as fire coming out of his dragons mouth.  Kids really enjoyed putting on puppet shows when they were done!

We offered a sorting activity at the round table which encouraged kids to sort buttons into groups.  We talked about sorting by size or color.  We also counted how many we put in each of our sorted groups. 

PREK2:  Today, we practiced counting groups of stars during group.  Our older kids were able to count the groups of stars and how many they had all together, while younger kids counted just how many stars they had.  This way, kids could do the task that was developmentally appropriate for them. 

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

Lunch: Whole wheat pasta with kidney beans and chicken, fresh cantaloupe/strawberries and fresh cucumbers/tomatoes/peppers.

PM Snack: Whole milk yogurt with granola.

Wee Sprouts: Fresh cucumbers/tomatoes/peppers.

Have a lovely afternoon!

Happy Friday!

This morning we engaged in painting with red and yellow tempera paint with a brush and mixing the colors together on our papers to create a new color.  One friend shared, “I’m painting Papi and a yellow frog.”

We then headed outside to engage in digging in the sandbox, cooking in housekeeping, climbing the climbing house and playing rhythm sticks on pans and empty coffee containers in the log area.
