Good Afternoon!

Community helpers have been a big topic with the kindergartners and in K/PREK1 group for the last few days.

Evie and Mack had to write a community helper after hearing a clue for each helper. For example, one of the clues said, ‘I am a community helper that delivers mail to your house.’ Both kindergarteners knew right away that it was a mailman/postman.

Social Studies: K.2.1 Give examples of people who are community helpers (inside the classroom and outside the classroom) and describe how they help us.

Miss Kim set up an art activity at the table this morning where children had the opportunity to paint on cardboard. They used red, orange, and yellow paint to cover the cardboard using a paint brush.

James got to work outside pulling some weeds. Rowan was quick to offer assistance and helped him pull weeds. They made a pile of their weeds and made sure that teachers saw the work that they had done!

A group of children made a large fire pit in the corner of the yard. Daniel spearheaded the ‘roasting marshmallow’ activity. Each friend grabbed a stick and they used a leaf as their marshmallow. When the marshmallow was done cooking, a few friends even blew on their ‘marshmallow’. When it was toasted perfectly, they put their marshmallow between two pieces of mulch.

Isn’t this the perfect activity for a warm and toasty morning?!
