Good Afternoon!

In K/PREK1 group, we read the first story in the Miss Nelson series: Miss Nelson Is Missing! Miss Viola Swamp is one of our favorite story characters—we love the intensity that she brings to the story.

We read four story problems. Members of our group helped me write the two numbers that we were dealing with in the problem. Together, we added the two numbers together, placing the total at the end.

K.CA.1-2: Solve real-world problems, objects, or drawings that involve addition and subtraction within 10. Demonstrate the equation (e.g., 5= 3+2 and 5= 4+1).

In PREK2 group, children used turkeys to find the total in an addition equation. It’s always helpful to have manipulatives when dealing with math equations at this age!

The sensory table was opened up this morning and we soon realized that we had to change the toys out! Halloween toys were still in the sensory bin so we changed them out for some winter toys! Children took turns at the bin, waiting for their turn to explore the kinetic sand.

The rest of our morning saw children disperse throughout the environment. Some friends spent their time at the art table, working on individual projects while others took some down time in the tent, reading stories with a peer.

Maggie and Imogen were AMAZED at the snow outside so they changed up their reading spot after breakfast: right by the door so they could admire the snow in between pages.

Breakfast– Whole wheat toast with peanut butter and fresh pears.

Lunch– Whole wheat pasta with butter and shredded turkey, fresh watermelon, and fresh cucumber/pepper.

PM snack– Whole wheat english muffins with butter and string cheese.

Wee Sprout– Fresh cucumber/pepper.

Have a wonderful evening!
