Happy Monday and Happy March!
For K group, we read, ‘The Grouchy Ladybug’ which is one of our favorites! We love the attitude of the grouchy ladybug and the journey she takes throughout the story.
Once we were done reading the story, we looked at the five patterns on the chalkboard. Each friend was assigned one pattern. One at a time, friends came up to the chalkboard and looked through my hand to find the piece of paper that would complete their pattern!
K.CA.5: Create, extend, and give an appropriate rule for simple repeating and growing patterns with numbers and shapes.
During sign in this morning, children worked with fruit to not only complete patterns but create their own! Each friend was given three fruit patterns and they had to finish the pattern. Once they finished their three patterns, they drew their own fruit pattern on their piece of paper.

In PREK2, children discussed their favorite pizza toppings and graphed the results! Our conclusion: we just need cheese to make us happy!
An art activity was made available at the art table this morning. There were several steps to this project. First, children used various sponges to paint their piece of paper. They used white, green, and blue paint. The blue represented the sky and the green represented the grass. Once friends were done painting, they grabbed a few sticks to place on their paper which represented trees! Last, they added pieces of tissue paper which represented leaves!
Friends worked for quite a long time on their creation so not everyone was able to have an opportunity this morning so this activity was also offered this afternoon!
Breakfast– Whole wheat toast with butter and fresh pears.
Lunch– Whole wheat noodles with marinara and shredded cheese, fresh cantaloupe, and fresh pepper/cherry tomatoes.
PM snack– Whole milk yogurt with graham crackers.
