Good Afternoon!
In K/PREK1, we read ‘Lion Lessons’. Right away, every member of our group shared that they had read this book before so throughout the story, they shared a few sneak peaks as to what was coming up next.
We started a conversations about lions which sparked a wider discussion about animals and comparing weight. Each friend got to add one animal to the ‘light’ category and one animal to the ‘heavy’ category. When everyone got a turn, children immediately started sharing, “We forgot giraffe!” or “We should’ve added fish!”
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, children worked with volume. There were test tubes with various volumes and they had to figure out which test tubes had the most liquid as well as the least.
Playdough was requested this morning and instead of using regular playdough tools, children used bones, eyeballs, and snakes in their playdough! We’re definitely getting into the fall spirit over here!
Breakfast– Kix and fresh watermelon.
Lunch– Brown rice with shredded pork, fresh cantaloupe/strawberries, and fresh cucumber/broccoli/cherry tomatoes.
PM snack– Pretzels with peanut butter and peanuts.
Wee Sprout– Fresh cherry tomatoes/cucumber.
Have a wonderful night!
