Happy Monday!

**Wee Friends will be closed Monday, May 27th for Memorial Day.

K/PREK1 has a calendar session everyday after we’ve read our book and completed an activity. Children state the month, date, and year so for example, today they said, “It’s May 20th, 2019.” Even if I forget at the beginning of the month, they remind me to outline the weekend days so that we know when ‘stay at home’ days are on the calendar versus Wee Friend days. We also work together at putting important events on the calendar such as swim, birthdays, or holidays.

We created a web where we wrote down everything that we see on the calendar. Friends were able to point at the calendar and identify where the month, year, etc. was written.

Social Studies: K.1.5 Explain that calendars are used to represent days of the week and months of the year.

PREK2 explored a calendar of their own. Each friend, with a little help from Miss Kim, identified their birthday. Children took turns finding their birth month along with their specific birthday!

Chloe brought in paint swatches to share with her peers. This became a main stay at the art table this morning as friends used different colored paint swatches to add to their art work. Children talked about ‘lighter’ and ‘darker’ colors as they explored different swatches.

Can you guess the game Ruby and Chloe were playing with a group of friends?

Freeze tag! Friends worked really hard to remain still until they were tagged. Such restraint!
