Good Afternoon!

In pre-k/k group, we read the story, ‘Fredrick’ and looked for different shapes as we flipped the pages. After we finished the story, we looked at the different characteristics of several shape cutouts. We sorted them into categories based on the number of sides each shape had. As we finished up, several friends noticed that the group of 4 sided shapes had the most. As we taped each shape under the correct category, we collectively said the name of the shape.

K.G.2: Compare shapes using informal language to describe their similarities, differences, and parts (e.g., number of sides, length of sides, and vertices).

Our welcome activity enticed children once they finished breakfast. Maxwell and Grady took colored gems and used them to trace different shapes. Grady mentioned to Franklin that the shape he was working on had four sides which was called a square!

An art activity was offered at the art table for children who wanted to participate. Children took string and after dragging it through paint, transferred the paint onto the paper.

Breakfast– Whole grain oatmeal with honey and PPC banana.

Lunch– Scrambled eggs with whole wheat bread, PPC nectarines/pears, and PPC purple beans/cucumber.

PM snack– Organic tortilla chips with cottage cheese.

Wee Sprout– PPC purple beans/cucumber.

Have a wonderful night!
