Good Afternoon!

In K group, we read one of my favorite books: ‘The Mountain That Loved A Bird’. It was the perfect book to wrap up a week where we’ve been talking about plants and animals. If you haven’t read this book, put it on your list to grab!

In the middle of the story, a few friends knew how the story would end and shared by raising their hands. For a conversation starter this evening, ask you K kid about this book (it’s one of their favorites too!).

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

During the kindergarteners sign in activity, lots of laughs were had. They had to use a red and green marker while categorizing things that were living and things that were non living. One kindergartener laughed hysterically at the thought of MILK being alive!

Our PREK2 friends sorted animals into three categories: herbivore, carnivore, or omnivore!

The classroom sign in for today invited friends to add a drawing to the picture! They could add a plant, flower, or tree—we had lots of all three!

Millie, Maggie, and James worked together to build a car using plastic and wooden blocks. They were all using wooden blocks as phones and later on, they started taking a drink from a wooden triangular prism. When asked what they were drinking, we were told, “Sparkling water!”

Even though it’s been a little chilly the past few days, we welcomed the sunshine and enjoy our time outside this morning and later on in the afternoon.

Breakfast– Brown rice cakes with peanut butter and banana.

Lunch– Melted shredded cheese and ham on whole wheat flatbread, fresh watermelon, and fresh carrots/cucumber.

Have a lovely weekend!
