Good Afternoon!

Reminders:

Wee Friends is closed Thursday, November 22nd and Friday, November 23rd for Thanksgiving break.

We will have PAJAMA DAY on Wednesday, November 21st. I’ll put a reminder next week too!

K/PREK1 read ‘The Gruffalo’s Child’ which is a story we’ve read before. Friends share events that they recall before we read the story which offers a great authentic assessment for myself to see how many detailed events children remember!

Afterwards, we all held out our fingers to help us with math facts that were on the chalkboard. Before we rolled up our mats, each child was responsible for one equation. Lucy held out both of her hands and I asked, “Lucy, if I have five fingers, how many more do I need to get to 10 fingers?”. By using her fingers, she quickly came up with the answer of 5!

K.CA.4: Find the number that makes 10 when added to the given number for any number from 1 to 9 (e.g., by using objects and drawings), and record the answer with a drawing or an equation.

PREK2 used their knowledge of rhyming words to create new words. For example, the first word was ‘cook’. Miss Kim took away the ‘c’ and friends had to come up with a new word which was ‘Dook’. After substituting sounds to change words, children went to go journal where we are all working on writing our names on the top of our journal page.

We got all bundled up in our snow gear and headed outside this morning! While there wasn’t a ton of snow, it was enough to get our little hearts beating and our little bodies moving.

Breakfast– Corn chex and fresh pineapple.

Lunch– Hummus on whole wheat tortilla, fresh apples, and fresh green beans/cucumber.

PM snack– Whole grain bagel with cream cheese and string cheese.

Wee Sprout– Fresh green beans/cucumber.

Have a fantastic night!
