Good Afternoon!

We finished up our FAB schedule for the fall! FAB’s will start back up after Christmas break. This week, our pre-k/k group will be extending a few FAB’s for topics where they had full comprehension.

Today in group, we read ‘The Hat’ by Jan Brett. Afterwards, we talked about the various animals and characters that we read about in the book. We counted the syllables in each name, quickly realizing that all of the names either had one or two syllables. Children started counting the syllables in each others names which lead to children quickly realizing that all of the ‘boy’ names had two syllables (MAXWELL, RILEY, AND GRADY) while the ‘girl’ names are all three syllable words (LUCINDA, LUISA, AND MADELINE).

Wooden blocks were used for a variety of building activities. Max, Lucy, and Anna used the big, plastic blocks and wooden blocks to build a bunk bed while Maddie and Lulu used them as surf boards. They both worked on their balance, trying to stay on their surf boards for as long as possible.

Breakfast– Whole wheat toast with butter and PPC pears.

Lunch– Whole wheat pasta with marinara sauce with shredded cheese, PPC clementines, and PPC cauliflower/carrots.

PM snack– Whole milk yogurt with PPC blueberries.

Wee Sprout– PPC cauliflower/carrots.

Have a great night!
