Happy Monday!
After we read, ‘Bear Stays Up’, I asked the question, “Does everyone celebrate holidays the same?”
This sparked a conversation about the uniqueness of family traditions which we added to the web. Each child shared one holiday that they enjoy celebrating with their family and why it was so special to them.
Friends kept saying, “We do that too!” or “We’ve never roasted marshmallows over the fire before!”—K/PREK1 members were quick to identify the similarities and differences they share with their peers.
Social Studies: K.1.2 Identify celebrations and holidays as a way of remembering and honoring people, events and America’s heritage.
We’re adding new artwork to our environment. A canvas was put on the table and children got to place several sticks in a specific position before they were glued down. Once the glue dried, children had the option to paint the canvas and sticks! It truly was a group effort! We’re anxious to hang these once they’re done.
Breakfast– Whole wheat bagel with butter and fresh kiwi.
Lunch– Whole wheat noodles with marinara sauce and shredded cheese, fresh kiwi/banana, and fresh carrots.
PM snack– Whole milk yogurt with granola.
Wee Sprout– Fresh carrots.
Have a lovely night!
