Happy Friday!
We ended the week by reading, ‘Froggy Plays In The Band’ in K/PREK1 group. At the beginning of the story, Froggy decided to start a band that would march in a parade. The winner would be given a prize and together, we brainstormed about what the prize might be offered! We came up with a trophy or medal and sure enough, the prize was a trophy!
K.RL.2.4: Make predictions about what will happen in a story.
After the story was done, we used a food scale to measure three things: a rock, glass container with gems, and glass container with nails. Everyone got a chance to hold each item. They each made a guess as to what item was going to weigh the most: and everyone was right in their guess!
We talked about the different types of scales and ways to weigh things after Mack said, “I have a scale at home but it’s for your body!”
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.
Colored water was placed in bins this morning for a sensory experience. Children used various sized spoons to move the water as well as explore fall materials such as bones and eyeballs.
An extensive game of Simon Says took place this morning. A few of the commands we heard were:
“Simon says…smell your shoes.”
“Simon says…do downward facing dog.”
“Simon says…do a pushup!”
…we have to work on our pushup form just a little bit! 
Breakfast– Brown rice cakes with peanut butter and fresh cantaloupe.
Lunch– Hummus on whole wheat tortilla, fresh cantaloupe/pears, and fresh cucumber/broccoli.
PM snack– Banana and cheddar block cheese.
Wee Sprout– Fresh pepper/cucumber.
Have a wonderful weekend!
