Good Afternoon!

We read ‘The Tiny Seed’ in K group today which coincided with our activity/conversation starter. The Tiny Seed is a story about the cycle that a seed goes through before it gets settled into the ground where roots are started, leading into it becoming a plant!

Once the story was finished, we looked at a diagram of the plant life cycle and the specific steps a seed takes before it becomes an adult plant.

Science: K.4.2 Observe plants and animals, describing how they are alike and how they are different.

Kindergarteners completed their sign in activity which focused on the specific area in our classroom where we can find books about plants and animals (the science area!). Next, they had to write what genre these books belong to—everyone quickly responded “nonfiction!”.

In PREK2 group, friends talked about specific habitats and what types of animals live in each habitat!

Miss Kim set up an activity in the art area this morning that allowed us to move a body a little! In the bin, littles balls were placed with a piece of paper and a couple different paint colors. Once the bin was closed tight, they either sat down or stood up and shook the container which moved the paint and balls all around. All of the finished art pieces had various designs on it depending on how soft or hard the bin was shaken!

The sunshine greeted us as we headed outside this morning. A few friends camped out in the housekeeping area, using weeds from around the yard to add to their play. The rock area was a busy place as children worked together to fill trucks with rocks. We got the bikes out which is one of our favorite outdoor activities. We LOVE our balance bikes.
