Happy Monday!

We read ‘The Gruffalo’ in K/PREK1 which is a story based on several different characters but specifically, a mouse and a Gruffalo. Throughout the story, the mouse meets a few animals so we took the sentence strips and put them in the order in which they happened. Afterwards, children added three different events that happened toward the end of the story.

Everyday, we complete calendar where we say the date: month, day, and year. On the calendar, a holiday was stated today:

K/PREK1 member: “What’s that holiday today?!”

Miss Mindy: “It’s called President’s Day. Does anyone know who the President is?”

K/PREK1 member: “Donald Trump and Pete Buttigieg?!”

K.M.2: Understand concepts of time, including: morning, afternoon, evening, today, yesterday tomorrow, day, week, month, and year. Understand that clocks and calendars are tools that measure time.

K.1.4: Identify and order events that take place in a sequence.

Friends in PREK2 group answered the question: “Name a reason why the boy wanted a stegosaurus?”

Each child got to state their answer and write their name by it.

Friends have shown interest lately in space so today, we started a multi-step art project where children had the opportunity to spray a combination of white paint and glitter onto a thick black piece of paper. Miss Kim asked the question: “What can we see up in space?”. A few of the answers that were given were the moon and stars.

Afterwards, we transitioned to an art project that focused on blowing bubbles. Children got the chance to blow bubbles and while the bubbles were still above the glass jar, they placed a piece of paper on top of it. The bubbles transferred to the paper which created various shapes.

We decided to head outside this morning—children had a blast! They explored snow in many facets: snow angels, snow balls, and foot prints were our main focus!
