Good Afternoon!

Sometimes a child brings a topic into the environment that sprouts an authentic conversation. Today at the breakfast table, N shared, “I went and voted with my mommy!”

Since today is election day, we read ‘Duck for President’ in K/PREK1. N shared her voting experience which consisted of “helping mommy put the paper into the box and then mommy paid for it.” This sprouted several conversations surrounding the following topics:

• Voting is free! It doesn’t cost anything to vote.
• “What does an election mean?”
• You can vote for positions such as:

• Governor: State
• Mayor: City
• President: Country

Penny finished off our discussion stating, “So you vote for things that are really important?”—Yes!

In PREK2, each child was assigned a specific letter. They had to identify the letter as well as the sound that went with it!

Breakfast- Whole Wheat Toasted Oats and fresh apples.

Lunch- Hummus on whole wheat tortilla, fresh oranges, and fresh kale/celery.

PM snack– Block cheese with whole wheat cinnamon raisin bagel and cream cheese.

Wee Sprout– Fresh kale/celery.

Have a lovely night!

-Mindy
