Good Afternoon!

First, we want to wish a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Rowan who turned 3 today! We are thrilled we could spend your special day with you!

Today in K group, we started discussing calendars and clocks. We chatted about what they’re used for and after reading, ‘Croc Around The Clock’, we shared reasons why we have clocks:

“It tells us when it’s time to go to bed!”

“It tells us when it’s time to eat.”

(aka two of our favorite things apparently!)

Afterwards, we talked about the calendar that we use everyday. We always say the date aloud so today, we said, “Today is Monday, October 5th, 2020.” We identified where the days of the week, month, and year are on the calendar.

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.

In PREK2, children read the book titled, ‘The Tortoise and the Hare’. They placed events into the order that they occurred!

I had a few friends who helped me make two batches on playdough this morning! We measure out all of the ingredients and watched as the mixture turned colors thanks to the food coloring gel!

Breakfast– Whole wheat toast with peanut butter and fresh apples.

Lunch– Whole wheat pasta with butter and black beans, fresh pineapple/pears, and fresh red cabbage/carrots.

PM snack– Whole milk yogurt with fresh apples (thanks for the yummy apples, Rowan!)

Wee Sprout– Fresh carrots/cucumber.

Have a lovely night!
