Good Afternoon!

Our MACK for the week is: Children will learn to define gratitude and thankfulness and how to recognize the people and things they are grateful for in their own lives.

In K/PREK1, we read, ‘The Awesome Book of Thanks’. It starts out with certain things that we didn’t use to have such as people and cars but it dives deep into all of the things that we should be grateful and thankful for now. Almost every page, children were raising their hands, sharing a thought or asking a question based on something they saw on the page.

Afterwards, each child got a specific number where they had to identify the number that comes before and the number that comes after it. For our younger friends, they used the number line on the top of the chalk board for help!

K.NS.3: Find the number that is one more than or one less than any whole number up to 20.

In PREK2, each child rolled the blue die and put that many snowflakes in front of them. Miss Kim gave them a number and they took that number and added that number of snowflakes to the snowflake group already in front of them. For example, Mack rolled a ‘3’. He put 3 snowflakes in front of him. Miss Kim gave him the number ‘3’ so he added 3 more snowflakes, making 6 total snowflakes.

Our weather this morning prompted an art activity where children got the opportunity to paint wooden snowflakes using different shades of blue as well as adding glitter! As children were painting their snowflakes, questions would arise about snowflakes which allowed us to read about them during this time!
