Happy Monday!

Throughout the week, we’ll be adding each book that we read in K group to our chart. We’ll identify the title of the book, characters within the book, and any setting that we noticed. Today, we read ‘Small Pig’ which offered up several characters and two different settings for us to chat about.

K.RL.2.3: Identify important elements of the text (e.g., characters, settings, or events).

We gathered in a circle in group and discussed greater than, less than, and equal to signs and when to use each sign. At this age, associating the greater than and less than sign with an alligator mouth is easy for children to comprehend. If the two numbers are 10 and 15, an alligator is going to want 15 pieces of cake (an example) versus 10 pieces of cake so the alligators mouth would open to the bigger number: 15.

Each friend worked on one problem and placed the correct sign between their two numbers.

K.NS.7: Identify whether the number of objects in one group is greater than, less than, or equal to the number of objects in another group.

In PREK2 group, friends got to choose one book in the reading area and identify who the characters were in that book. Miss Kim wrote down the characters that children shared on the white board.

An art activity was made available at the table this morning. Children were given a half of a heart and using string, they painted the half of their heart. Once they were done painting, they folded their heart in half, making an exact print on the blank side. Once the paint dried, friends used scissors to cut their heart out!

Breakfast– Whole wheat bagel with butter and fresh grapes.

Lunch– Whole wheat noodles with butter and black beans, fresh apples, and fresh carrots.

PM snack– Whole milk yogurt with graham crackers.

Wee Sprout– Fresh carrots.

Have a great evening!
