Good Afternoon!
In K group, we read, ‘The Day the Crayons Quit’ which lead into our group activity. We took the names of all of the crayons in the books and sorted them by the number of syllables in each word. By far, the 1 syllable group had the most colors! As I held each paper out, children worked on reading the color instead of me telling what what it was. They were able to use their prior knowledge of letter sounds to figure out what the color was!
K.RF.3.2: Orally segment words into syllables.
During kindergarten sign in, children used the letter box to match the lowercase letters to their uppercase counterpart. As they placed the popsicle stick into the box, they said aloud what letter it was.
K.RF.2.4: Identify and name all uppercase and lowercase letters of the alphabet.
In PREK2 group, friends went fishin’ for some letters! Each friend got to use a set of tongs to search in a bin for different letters. When they pulled out a letter, they identified the letter before looking for a new one!
Our preschool aged friends also partook in their sign in this morning that required them to identify the letter B. When friends found the letter B, they signed their name under that group.
The rest of our day had a little of this and a little of that—tons of building, art area creations, and snuggles with peers and teachers while reading our favorite stories.

Lunch– Melted shredded cheese on whole wheat flatbread, fresh apples, and fresh snap peas/carrots.
