Hello!
During our yoga session in K/PREK1, we really focused on our deep breathing. Several friends were breathing with a ton of emphasize on the breathe out. So we practiced together as we were in one of our yoga poses. We really got the hang of it towards the end.
I asked the question “What is a community?”. Penny was quick to share, “It’s people that share and help each other!”. After we worked together to define ‘community’, we added several community helpers to our web. We’ll extend on this topic tomorrow!
Social Studies: K.2.1 Give examples of people who are community helpers (inside the classroom and outside the classroom) and describe how they help us.
The morning activity was focused around shapes. The following shapes were made available to fill in laminated shapes: hexagon, rectangle, trapezoid, square, and triangle. Friends talked with one another about the characteristics they saw in each shape such as the number of sides.
Our dinosaur fossils from yesterday were ready to paint! Children used the three primary colors to cover their dinosaur fossil. There were a few different techniques that we saw that included mixing the three primary colors to make other colors or just strictly using the primary colors by themselves.
Breakfast– Whole grain Cheerios and fresh pears.
Lunch– Shredded cheese and refried beans on whole wheat tortilla, fresh cantaloupe, and fresh cucumber/pepper.
PM snack– Whole wheat english muffins with cream cheese and string cheese.
Wee Sprout– Fresh cucumber/pepper.
Have a great night!
