Good Afternoon!

In large group, we read ‘Wodney Wats Wobot’. Wodney’s real name is Rodney but he can’t pronounce his R’s! Rodney had a robot who would repeat everything!

After the story was done, I put three library books on the bench. The names of the stories as well as the author were written down on sentence strips. I asked friends to raise their hand and tell me if they’ve ever been to the library before. We discussed how the librarian categorizes the books in the library. Specifically, we looked at the last name of the authors. Using the three books we had, we put them into alphabetical order by looking at the first letter of the authors last name.

K.1.19: Learn and apply knowledge of alphabetical order (first letter) when using a classroom or school library/media center. (2006 standard)

Friends continued to explore our EGG! This morning, we took the egg out of the Karo Syrup and passed it around the table. We found it to be extremely mushy and squishy while still in contact.  We put the egg into a container of water for two hours.

We turned the play clock to 11:00 which is when the egg would be ready. Jackson periodically checked the clock to keep track of how long we had until we could get the egg out!

The clock finally hit 11:00! We gathered around the table again and Miss Melinda gently placed the egg in the center of the table.

Friends watched as Miss Melinda took a tooth pick to pop open the egg. We were waiting for a BIG explosion. The explosion was a little lacking but we enjoyed touching the outer shell of the egg which was very slimy and wiggly.

Children used many spaces throughout the house this morning. Grady sprawled out and completed a floor puzzle while Addi and Jackson used the magnetic balls to fill the stools in the science area.

First thing this morning, we opened the corn sensory bin. After playing with it for a while, we decided we’d like to investigate the moon sand. The corn and moon sand are two completely different sensory experiences and we enjoyed both immensely.

Breakfast– Whole grain oatmeal with honey and kiwi.

Lunch– Brown rice with turkey, banana, and corn.

PM snack– Roasted chick peas and wheat thins.

Wee Sprout– Carrots/Peppers/Cucumber.

Have a great night!
