Hello!

As Nora walked in the door today, she was welcomed by the sound of music. She took a shaker tube in her hand and joined in! Children worked with differing objects within the tubes such as bells, feathers, foam shapes, beads, and bouncy balls. All have different weight and make different sounds.

Eren and Nora sat down at the table and worked with number boards and pegs. They each took multiple number boards and put pegs into each one. As they were putting the pegs into the board, we counted “one, two, three…” together! Once we filled the boards, we took the pegs out and put them back into the basket. Again, we counted as high as we could go!

Once we were done with the number boards, we got out letters and traced the sparkly letters with our fingers. For each letter, we talked about a word that started with that specific letter. For example, ‘apple’ for A. It’s important to use words that friends are familiar with so they can connect their current knowledge to the present.

For breakfast, children had chex and banana. Lunch consisted of cheese and refried bean filled pita sandwiches, pears, and corn. PM snack was raisins and string cheese.

Have a terrific evening!
