Good Afternoon!
**Please make sure your child’s labeled snow gear (snow pants, snow boots, gloves, hat, winter coat) is at school by tomorrow morning in case we decide to explore outside! Thank you!
Daniel started off his birthday by receiving a card from his friend, Evie! We hope Daniel was able to have the best 3rd birthday!
We read, ‘Three Cheers for Tacky’ in K/PREK1 and when I opened the first page, N shared, “Hey! It’s snowing in the book too!”
Afterwards, each child solved a specific equation. This week, we’re working on finding an unknown number when the total is 10. For this exercise, we used our fingers—this works well because we have ten fingers! Each child put up the correct number of fingers and had to determine how many fingers were left to make 10. When they came to the right number, they came up and identified the number in a pile and taped it to the chalkboard.
K.CA.4: Find the number that makes 10 when added to the given number for any number from 1 to 9 (e.g., by using objects or drawings), and record the answer with a drawing or an equation.
In PREK2, Miss Kim gave each child a specific number of buttons. She then took a certain number away, requiring children to count the total number left.
Our snowy morning was full of shapes turned into trees, pegs turned into steps, and piano keys turned into music.
Breakfast– Whole wheat toast with butter and fresh pears.
Lunch– Whole wheat pasta with butter and beans, fresh banana, and fresh carrots/cucumber.
PM snack– Daniel’s birthday treat: pretzels and popcorn along with whole milk yogurt.
Wee Sprout– Fresh carrots/cucumber.
Have a lovely, snowy evening.
