Good Afternoon!

In pre-k/k group, we pulled out ‘A Light In The Attic’ by Shel Silverstein. On each page, there was a small illustration for each poem so we talked about what the drawing could possibly be telling us before we dove into the poem.

Yesterday, we worked together to sort shapes based on the number of sides. Today, we looked at the vertices of each shape and categorized the shapes by the number of vertices. Lucy told us what vertices are and demonstrated how to count the vertices in any given 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.)

Children requested a couple different games this morning. Emma and several of her peers took turns interacting with the category game where different items are sorted into specific categories. For example, a friend put three animals onto the farm category and shouted, “This is my farm!”

Anna, Lucy, and Penny used different sized rocks in our outside environment. Anna commented, “These are our creations!”. We have loose parts all throughout our backyard which allows our imaginations to soar.

Breakfast– Kashi Blueberry Clusters and fresh apples.

Lunch– Brown rice with shredded pork, PPC mango/banana, and PPC cucumber/green pepper.

PM snack– Peanuts and triscuits.

Wee Sprout– PPC cucumber/green pepper.

Have a great night!
