Good Afternoon!
Several children participated in the table activity this morning to go along with our Valentine’s day festivities. They were busy tracing and decorating hearts for themselves and their families.
For our snack to celebrate our special day, we had strawberries, raspberries and grapes on wooden skewers with our yogurt. Once snack was over, we all placed the cards we brought for our friends in the bags.
The light table was brought out this morning along with colored gems. We had a multitude of ages that manipulated the gems differently. Our older friends sorted the gems by color and identified which group had more or less while our younger friends used their one to one correspondence skills by counting the gems as high as they could go! They also used their color recognition to point out the different colors that they saw.
K.NS.7: Identify whether the number of objects in one group is greater than, less than, or equal to the number of objects in another group.
Addi decided to use four of every color and make a collage with the gems. We discussed how all of the gems were equal in number to each other.
In large group, we read, ‘Will You Be My Valentine?’ After we read the story, Lulu shared sea shells that she brought back from Florida. Each shell was passed around and we talked about how each one felt. Descriptive words we heard were bumpy, smooth, rough, and soft.
Breakfast– Kix and strawberries.
Lunch– Hummus on whole wheat flat bread, watermelon, and carrots.
PM snack– Valentine’s Day fruit kabobs with yogurt.
Wee Sprout– Cucumber.
Have a lovely night!
