Happy Monday!
We read, ‘Kindness Grows’ in K group (it’s an AWESOME story). It elicited a ton of conversation, especially about the illustrators choices of shades and colors to tell the story.
Afterwards, we created a list of living and non-living things. Each child came up with an example for each category. We talked about the similarities and differences between the two groups.
Science: K.4.2 Observe plants and animals, describing how they are alike and how they are different.
For kindergarten sign in, children had to write down two things that animals need to survive as well as two things that plants need to survive. Once they wrote these things down, they looked to see if there was an answer they had for both plants and animals. Water seemed to be the most popular as plants and animals need water to survive.
During PREK2, children chatted about plants and what makes plants special and unique!
We spent a ton of time outside today, exploring and looking for bugs! With all of the rain we got this weekend, we were finding rollie pollies left and right!
