Good Afternoon!

We celebrated Ruby’s birthday today: she turned 4! She’s so excited to get to use the work bench and join our rather large 4 year old population . Happy birthday, Ruby!

Our K/PREK1 friends are thriving during journal time, hearing all sorts of letters and focusing on our letter identification. Most of our friends are working on their letter formations while some of us are in the beginning stages of kid spelling!

Today in group, we read ‘Paper Bag Princess’ where we talked about the author and illustrator before reading it. This conversation was prompted when a child asked, “Who wrote the words in this book?”. A few friends knew and shouted, “Robert Munsch!”, right away. Throughout the story, we talked about what event(s) may happen next given a few children had never read the story before!

PREK2 used Halloween manipulatives to create/complete patterns! The patterns that we explored were ABAB patterns as well as the more challenging AABAAB pattern.

Patterns were also the focus of our morning welcome activity as children used fruit to finish patterns as well as create their own!

Breakfast– Whole grain oatmeal with honey and PPC raspberries.

Lunch– Scrambled eggs with whole wheat bread, PPC banana, and PPC cauliflower/fresh carrots.

PM snack– Hummus and corn chips.

Wee Sprout– PPC cauliflower/fresh carrots.

Have a great night!
