Happy Monday! Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend.

Our Kindergarten FAB for the week is: K.3.2 Identify maps and globes as ways of representing Earth and understand differences between a map/globe.

Our large group read, ‘Roosters Off To See The World!’ and then had an open discussion about the contents of the book. We made a web where we brainstormed about the Earth. Anything that came to mind, children shared. Topics such as the shape of the Earth, how to keep the Earth clean, and what we see around us were brought up.

After evaluating the previous knowledge of the group, that’ll gear where we are headed with the FAB this week!

Maddie and Lulu participated in the category game with Miss Katelyn this morning! They then chose to work with the memory card game. They both asked other friends if they would want to join!

The art table was a creation station this morning! Children used different mediums such as marker and crayon. A group of friends made props for a show that they put later on in the morning.

Our younger peers headed up into the habitrail to watch the performance. Popcorn (yellow paper that was crumpled up) was provided to the audience.

Our gross motor skills were in action this morning once the bikes were made available. Our younger friends focused on pedaling today.
