*REMINDER: Wee Friends will be closed Friday, April 3.

Good Afternoon–

This morning we offered a “marble runs in water” activity in order to explore water movement, gravity and the basic foundation of applied physics.  We knew that several kids had a strong interest in these kinds of hands on experimental building activities.  We found however, that many kids who normally don’t spend time building, became interested in this activity and were able to explore skills that were new to them. Projects like this build the foundations of scientific reasoning through play.  Activities like pouring, damning and moving water through pipes teach the fundamentals of physics and math while also fostering social skills and sensory stimulation for young minds. 

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

Breakfast: Puffins cereal with fresh clementines/pineapple.

Lunch: Brown rice with chicken, fresh cantaloupe/strawberries and fresh cucumbers/peppers.

PM Snack: Peanut butter and sunflower/pepita seed/raisins on whole wheat crackers.

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!

Breakfast:  Whole grain brown rice cakes with cream cheese and fresh oranges.

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.

PM Snack: Whole milk yogurt with granola.

Wee Sprouts: Fresh cucumbers/peppers.

Enjoy the rest of your day!
