Good Afternoon!
In large group this week, we’ve been reading stories that dissect what a day/week/year looks like. So far, we’ve talked about ‘day’ and ‘week’. In general, children have a challenging time gaging time. It’s important to discuss these terms in a way that is meaningful to them.
Yesterday, when we discussed the term ‘day’ and what it looked like, a friend suggested, “It’s kind of like the time between when you wake up in the morning and go to bed at night.” As a group, we came up with the seven days of the week. Today, we separated those days into ‘school’ days and ‘stay at home’ days. We were having a little trouble remembering the two stay at home days so we came up with a way to remember it; Stay at home days are the two days that start with S (Stay at home- Saturday and Sunday).
Miss Melinda read ‘A Tree Is A Plant’ to a few older friends this morning before heading outside to plant all of our flowers and vegetable plants.
They were such great helpers!
Once they got done with the big flower bed in the garden, we concentrated on the individual flower pots. Each older friend was in charge of a pot, focusing on clearing out the leaves and ‘gunk’ as friends called it.
Inside, several different activities were explored.
The gems were put out on the table for the welcome activity and friends used the gems for different purposes all morning long. Anna and a few friends sat at the art table and used markers before deciding they’d like to get the glue out and make a collage.
It was a great Wednesday. We hope you had a great day!
