Happy Monday!

In K group, we read, ‘Stick Man’. Afterwards, we talked about how librarians categorize books in a library, something we had hit on during kindergarten sign in. We identified the author of Stick Man,  Julia Donaldson! We discussed how Stick Man would be placed in the ‘D’ section because of the last name of Donaldson.

K.1.19: Learn and apply knowledge of alphabetical order (first letter) when using a classroom or school library/media center.

During kindergarten sign in, children had to categorize the following books by the author’s last name:

The Little Mouse, The Red Ripe Strawberry, and the Big Hungry Bear—written by Don Wood

Up, Up, Down—written by Robert Munsch

Stellaluna—written by Janell Cannon

The Mitten—written by Jan Brett

They identified the author’s last name and had to determine the correct order based on last name!

With the election just one day away, we decided to dive into democracy at a level that our class can comprehend: will Duck or Clifford win?!

Miss Kim read two stories that revolved around elections: Duck for President and Clifford for President.

After reading both stories, we talked about a few characteristics of each nominee that would make them a good President.

Each friend got to fill out a ballot and place it in the ballot box!

Tomorrow, we’ll vote for the real thing! If you’re anxious to see how our class would vote and who we would elect, check back here tomorrow!

The rest of our day was full of sunshine and smiles—two of our favorite things!

Breakfast– Whole wheat toast with butter and banana/pear.

Lunch– Whole wheat pasta with butter and shredded beef, fresh pineapple, and fresh carrots/cucumber.

PM snack– Whole milk yogurt with granola and pineapple.

Wee Sprout– Fresh carrots/cucumber.

Have a great evening!
