Happy Monday!

While reading ‘Mrs. McNosh and the Great Big Squash’ in K/PREK1, we discussed what a gardener needs to do his or her job. This lead into a conversation about four specific professions: dentist, teacher, farmer, and doctor. First, friends worked together to come up with a description about what each profession does. Then, we made a list naming the items or tools each professional needs to do their job.

We started off by discussing what teachers need to do their job. After naming tools like pen and pencil, a five year old friend shared, “Teachers need energy, right?! So they need sleep and tons of energy.”

Social Studies: K.4.2 Identify and describe different kinds of jobs that people do and the tools they use.

In PREK2, children came up to the easel to draw a line between each profession and the tool they need to do their job. Our background knowledge of several of these professions was evident. When Miss Kim asked her group, “What is the person called that makes coffee?”, a friend responded, “Coffier.”

Our science area has gotten a makeover these last few weeks. Children explored our newly put together area as well as the toys are that offered. When friends walked in the door, they shared their thoughts as well as pointed out everything new that they saw!

Breakfast– Whole wheat toast with peanut butter and fresh pears.

Lunch– Whole wheat pasta with butter and shredded beef, fresh cantaloupe, and fresh carrots.

PM snack– Whole milk yogurt with fresh apples.

Have a wonderful night!
