We love getting to spend some quality time outside!

The wet sand and slippery slides didn’t stop the Wee Friends from their play today.

Children explored digging, filling and pouring in both the sand and the rocks.

Our literacy focus this week is all about the alphabet and understanding alphabetical order. For our younger preschoolers this looks like identifying letters and talking about the sounds each letter makes! This morning some children gathered in the reading area to hear a story about letters: My X, Y, Z Book.

 

Kindergarten: Today our kindergarteners and older preschoolers were invited to practice FAB K.1.19: Learn and apply knowledge of alphabetical order (first letter) when using a classroom or school library/media center (2006 standard). In order to practice alphabetical order, students connected alphabet cards using links. This was both a literacy and fine motor challenge. Elliott chose to make an “alphabet circle” by connecting the A and Z card!

Wee Sprouts: Carrots. Breakfast: Whole wheat bagels with cream cheese and apple slices. Lunch: Whole wheat pasta with mozzarella cheese and marinara sauce, mixed vegetables, and applesauce/apples. Snack: Organic whole milk yogurt and fresh blueberries.
