Good Afternoon!
In K/PREK1, we read ‘Ladybug Girl and Bumblebee Boy’ which centers around two main characters. The two friends met at the park and everything was going perfectly fine until they discussed what they wanted to play. They couldn’t agree upon a game which lead to frustration and arguing, which can be a common occurrence among three to five year old children. We roll played how we would handle something like this and we came up with several well thought out options:
1. “They could just go find another friend to play with if they were upset.”
2. “They could take turns playing a game that they wanted. The older child could start and then it would be the younger ones turn. That way they each get to choose a game.”
3. “They could figure out a game that they both want to play. I think that’s what happens in this book…”
This friend was right! We talked about how we would feel in this situation and how we can share our feelings with our peers and teachers if something like this should happen.
In PREK2, animal habitats were the main focus as friends had to determine which habitat belonged to which animal. The group discussed what a habitat was before deciphering where each of the animals lived.
Our Wednesday was full of paint, LEGOS, pretend play in the habitrail and housekeeping areas, and snuggle time reading with various teachers.
Wednesday is our egg day for lunch and instead of making our normal scrambled eggs, we made egg muffins! We used our farm fresh eggs from Miss Charlotte and friends took their time figuring out what they wanted in their egg muffins. They got to choose from cheese, ham, peppers, and tomatoes. They ended up being a hit! At first, a few friends couldn’t decide if they had eggs in front of them or a muffin. After talking it out, they realized it was both eggs and a muffin! 
Breakfast– Whole grain oatmeal with honey and fresh watermelon.
Lunch– Farm fresh egg muffins (choice of ham, peppers, tomatoes), whole wheat tortilla, fresh watermelon/apple, and fresh carrots/peppers.
PM snack– Air popped popcorn with fresh cantaloupe.
Wee Sprout– Fresh cucumber/carrots.
Have a great evening!
