Good Afternoon!
During large group, we incorporated our FAB for the week by reading the book, ‘A Mother for Choco’. In this book, ‘Choco’ who is a yellow bird, tries to find herself a mother since she doesn’t have one. After going up to many different animals to see if they’re her mother, she finally meets Mrs. Bear. Now Mrs. Bear looks nothing like Choco but takes her in and becomes her mother anyways.
Afterwards, many friends commented, “But Choco looks nothing like Mrs. Bear!” This started a conversation about how some families don’t have the same physical characteristics but they’re still family! We brainstormed words or thoughts that come to our minds when we hear the word ‘family’. Many of us had the same thoughts about what a family represents.
Social Studies: K.3.6 Identify and compare similarities and differences in families, classmates, neighbors and neighborhoods, and ethnic and cultural groups.
This morning we worked on an art activity that helped us compare the similarities and differences in our families to go along with our FAB for the week.
Our creativity was on display in our building structures that we built with many of our different building blocks.
We explored the big sunflower in the garden. We noticed how big it has grown and how heavy the top is, which has caused it to droop down. It is down far enough for us to be able to see it a little closer and feel the flower petals and seeds in the middle. We even had enough cherry tomatoes that were ripe enough to pick to fill a bowl!
Breakfast: Kix cereal and banana.
Lunch: Avocado chicken salad on whole grain wheat bread/tortillas, banana and peppers.
Afternoon Snack: Whole grain wheat bagel with cream cheese and banana/mango.
Wee Sprouts: Cherry tomatoes and cucumbers.
Have a great night!
