Today many Wee Friends were all about building! Lots of creations were built with wood blocks, trio blocks, and magna-tiles. The perfect materials to work fine motor skills and spatial awareness.

In addition, our WF authors worked on completing the book they started making last week. They had illustrated all of the pages, now it was just a matter of putting it all together. First, the friends ordered their pages 1 through 16. Next, they chose a binding color: dark blue. Finally, it was all ready to share with friends! Both teachers were asked to read their version of Goldilocks and the 3 Bears. Check it out on our bookshelf.

Kindergarten: Today’s kindergarten activity was presented to all our friends in the large group, working on standard 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 took a variety of objects from around our classroom (beanbag, book, spray bottle and stapler) and made a prediction about how many unifix cubes tall the object was. Then, we measured the objects! Friends were quite close in some of their predictions.

We also enjoyed our outside time this morning. The fresh air makes us smile!

Wee Sprouts: Carrots. Breakfast: Toasted whole wheat bagels with peanut butter and grapes. Lunch: Whole wheat pasta with chicken, mixed vegetables, oranges and grapes. Snack: Organic whole milk yogurt and apples.
