Happy Monday!
SO much excitement today!
First, we welcomed a new friend into our classroom today! James is two and a half years old and had such a great day exploring the environment. We are so thankful to have him and his family here!
Next, kindergarten officially kicked off today! We will have 6 children in the kindergarten group. We went over a few housekeeping, procedural things throughout the day!
Each week, we’ll have a specific focus: FAB’s (Framework of Academic Balance) that we’ll work into our day in various ways.
This week’s FAB is:
Social Studies: K.3.6 Identify and compare similarities and differences in families, classmates, neighbors and neighborhoods, and ethnic and cultural groups.
In K/PREK1 group, we read ‘The Family Book’ which shares the ways a family can look and how families are different. We talked about similarities and differences in our families, specifically when it comes to siblings! We found out that everyone in group has at least one sibling!
In PREK2 group, children discussed their eye color and charted it by writing their name under their eye color!
The rest of our day went a little like this:
Breakfast– Whole wheat bagel with peanut butter and fresh banana.
Lunch– Whole wheat pasta with marinara sauce and cheese, fresh cantaloupe, and fresh carrots.
PM snack– Whole milk yogurt with graham crackers.
Wee Sprout– Fresh carrots.
Have a wonderful night!
