Happy Friday! Our day has been fabulous.

Painted:

Listened to stories:

And rode bikes!

In addition, I (Jessica) may have inadvertently sparked a renewed interested in knitting/crocheting after bringing in some of my personal crochet projects to work on during my break. Today friends were very dedicated in learning (or relearning) how to finger knit! They have all sorts of projects planned for next week.

Other friends also got in on the yarn action by making some braids.

We got really excited about our finished products!

Kindergarten: Today the kindergarteners worked on math FAB K.M.1: Make direct comparisons of the length, capacity, weight and temperature of objects and recognize which object is shorter, longer, taller, lighter, heavier, warmer, cooler, or holds more. We started with three different containers and made a prediction about how many cups of water we thought they would hold. Next, we poured water into the container and then the measuring cup. We had to look very close to see what line the water came up to! Then we recorded the actual capacity in our journals.

At the end, Elizabeth and Elliott were able to identify which containers held the most and least, and have a lot of fun while doing it.

Have a wonderful weekend! –Jessica
