Good Afternoon!
PREK1 kiddos came to the sign in board this morning where we talked about the book we read in group yesterday, ‘Froggy’s Lemonade Stand’. In the book, Froggy tried selling his lemonade for 25 cents. As children came to the sign in board, they identified the quarter on the board. I also asked if they were able to identify the other coin from earlier in the week, to which every child said, ‘penny!’.
Today evolved into a book making day at Wee Friends. Some older friends have been interested in making books at the art center. Today, older friends were invited to write their own story and illustrate it. We looked at book covers and noticed the title and author. Next, we drafted our story with a teacher. We thought about what our stories would be about, who the characters would be. Then we sequenced what would happen in the beginning, middle, and end. Each child was ready to narrate a story after the planning portion was done. Paige and Katherine enjoyed narrating the fictional stories they came up with. After a teacher wrote the stories down on separate pages, the two girls illustrated their books. The girls also created a cover including a title and the name of the author. Last, the girls enjoyed having their stories read to the class during story time! What an exciting day of language arts!!
At lunch today, we enjoyed a special grapefruit tasting treat! We had mixed feelings about the flavor. It was described as sour, yummy and yucky :). There were many friends who went out on a limb and tried something new!
PREK2: There was interest in writing stories today, so in group we talked about this idea. We read a story titled “Snow” and learned that the title often tells us what the main idea of the story will be about. After the story, we thought about what we might make our own story about. We wrote our ideas on a class list.
Breakfast– Kix and fresh cantaloupe.
Lunch– Brown rice with shredded chicken, fresh clementines/banana/grapefruit, and fresh carrots/cucumber.
PM snack– Whole wheat crackers with peanut butter and sunflower seeds.
Wee Sprout– Fresh cucumber/pepper.
Have a wonderful night.
