Happy Monday!

**Reminder: Wee Friends will be closed on Monday, May 27th.

This week, our FAB focuses on money and what it’s used for as well as identifying coins. We put all of that together during K/PREK1 time.

After reading ‘Makeup Mess’ by Robert Munsch, which centers around the main character buying makeup with her money stash, we used our coin knowledge to identify each coin that was on the chalkboard. After we identified each coin, we worked together to add the coins together.

Lucy and Maxwell had completed a similar activity during their kindergarten sign in so they took the reigns during group time and shared how to add the coin values together.

Social Studies: K.4.1 Explain that people work to earn money to buy the things they want. Introduce money names and values.

PREK2 group shopped at the ‘Pinkalicious Store’ after reading the matching book! Each item was worth a specific amount of money. As a group, they read the values together and had to decide where each coin went.

We were anxious to get working on our starters! We’ll hopefully plant them in the next couple of weeks.

We’ve found that when one friend requests a puzzle, several other peers show interest and follow suit.

Mack completed a 24 piece puzzle and shared, “I finished it! It’s ‘cause I’m getting bigger.”

Friends LOVE a good challenge.
