Happy Monday!
In K group, we started reading, ‘Charlotte’s Web’. Chapter books like Charlotte’s Web offer detailed story telling without the pictures. We’ll read a couple chapters a day and recall the important events that happened that day. An activity like this helps children work on comprehension and identifying important events. The active characters and setting often change so these things authentically come up in conversation.

We are here! The last week of FAB’s for the school year. We are ending our FAB cycle by diving into maps: creating them and reading them. The kindergarteners drew a map of their bedroom, complete with doors, windows, a bed, and any other item they have in their room. As they drew the map, they talked about the placement of each item and where it is within their bedroom.
Social Studies: Create maps 2 dimensionally and 3 dimensionally.
Children were offered an art opportunity this morning that involved paint and canvas’s!
Friends used a variety of colors to paint their canvas. Some children chose to paint the entire canvas while others chose to paint a portion of it.
The rest of our day consisted of children becoming invested in various activities and spaces in our environment. The weather prohibited us from going outside but that didn’t stop the kids from moving their bodies or asking for an activity that peaked their interest.
Breakfast– Whole wheat toast with peanut butter and fresh pears.
Lunch– Whole wheat pasta with shredded beef and butter, fresh cantaloupe, and fresh cucumber/carrots.
PM snack– Whole milk yogurt with granola.
Wee Sprout– Fresh carrots/cucumber.
Have a wonderful night!
