Good Afternoon!
Chloe turned FIVE today! We are thankful we were able to celebrate with her and hope she had a spectacular day!
In K/PREK1, we read ‘Mortimer’ by Robert Munsch. We’ve read this book in the past so before we started reading, I wanted to see how much information, they recalled. They told me several characters that they remembered being integral to the story as well as the setting. As we read the story and came upon a certain character that we wrote down at the beginning, we put a red checkmark next to it!
Children were able to recall not only main characters but specific events as well! Using this type of authentic assessment allows me to gage what types of events children remember and to what detail.
K.RL.2.3: Identify important elements of the text (e.g., characters, settings, or events).
Children transformed into paleontologists today! They searched for bones and dinosaur skeletons in sand and once they found them, they were able to dust it off.
When they took the bones and skeletons out, they used a pencil and paper to draw it. They used a ruler to see how long each were and drew it to size as much as possible.
Breakfast– Kix and fresh kiwi.
Lunch– Brown rice with shredded chicken, fresh kiwi/oranges, and fresh pepper/cucumber.
PM snack– Chloe’s birthday treat: fresh strawberries with natural whipped cream and
Wee Sprout– Fresh pepper/cucumber.
Have a great night!
