Happy Friday!
This week, we’ve been classifying things based on various attributes and deciding if an object doesn’t belong to a group and explaining why. For kindergarten sign in, children had to sort pictures of food into six food groups: bread/grain, fruit, vegetables, meat/eggs, milk/dairy, and sweets. We chatted about what the foods had in common and I asked the question, “What is your favorite food group?” once we were all done. Several friends chose the ‘sweets’ category. One child said sweets but then quickly changed his mind and said, “I like it all!”
K.DA.1: Identify, sort, and classify objects by size, number, and other attributes. Identify objects that do not belong to a particular group and explain the reasoning used.
After we read, ‘Rah, Rah, Radishes’ in K group, I had everyone look at three specific food groups and asked if anything looked off. A friend shouted, “Carrots aren’t in the milk food group!”. We saw a few things wrong so we fixed them since they weren’t in the correct food group!

In PREK2, children sorted puff balls depending on their size. They talked about the terms smallest and biggest. To wrap up, they placed several puff balls in a line from smallest to biggest.
What a glorious end to our week, full of smiles and laughter.
Hope everyone has a ‘relaxing’ weekend!
