Good Afternoon!

After reading, ‘Pooh’s Halloween Parade’, we made two lists: a warm/hot list and a cool/cold list. Mack and Evie’s sign in specifically dealt with foods that were cold and hot this morning but for K/PREK1, we opened it up to all possibilities. Each group member came up with one example for each category. Several of the responses had to do with water and the water temperature which brought about a conversation about water and its different forms.

K.M.1: Make direction comparisons of the length, capacity, weight, and temperature of objects, and recognize which object is shorter, longer, taller, lighter, heavier, warmer, cooler, or holds more.

In PREK2, each group member was given a ruler. They each got a turn to roll the dice and identified the number that they rolled. If they rolled a four, then they put together four cubes along the ruler to see how long the cubes measured!

Children split up into several different areas throughout the classroom environment this morning. Four or five children occupied the housekeeping area where rounds of ‘family’ and ‘doctor’ were played while a group of younger peers gathered in the habitrail area, chanting, “We are doctor weasels! We are doctor weasels!”

Mack and Daniel put in work at the art table, marveling at how well the new markers work! They were helpful as they reminder their younger peers how we treat our markers, stating, “We don’t want them to run out!”

Breakfast– Overnight oatmeal with cinnamon and fresh watermelon.

Lunch– Farm fresh scrambled eggs with whole wheat tortilla, fresh pineapple/watermelon, and fresh cucumber/carrots.

PM snack– Air popped popcorn with butter and raisins.

Wee Sprout– Fresh carrots/cucumber.

Have a lovely night!
