Happy Monday!

Evie and Mack explored uppercase and lowercase letters for their kindergarten sign in. There were blank spaces where they had to write the missing letter.

K.W.2.1: Write most uppercase and lowercase letters of the alphabet, correctly shaping and spacing.

During K/PREK1 group, we read, ‘Dinosaur Alphabet Book’. Afterwards, we played ‘Shape-ing-o’ which is a shape bingo game! We helped one another throughout the game. There were a mixture of 2-D and 3-D shapes. We’ll play again later in the week to see if our knowledge of shapes has grown after exploring them in various activities.

K.4.1: Identify and describe geometric objects: circle, triangle, square, rectangle, diamond, trapezoid, hexagon, octagon. parallelogram, sphere, and cube.

In PREK2, friends worked together to match shapes. Children took the shapes and found the match on the sheet that was provided. As they found the match, they talked about the name of each shape.

One of our favorite books in our MACK collection is ‘What Should Danny Do?’. It’s an interactive game where children get to make Danny’s choices for him. The choices that we make for Danny will affect his day. At each stopping point in the story where there’s a dilemma, two choices are made available: a good choice and a poor choice.

We love reading the book multiple times, making different choices to see how it changes his day!

We switched out the sensory bin to colored rice! Friends were quick to explore the bin and the materials that were put in there as well.

Breakfast– Whole wheat english muffins with butter and fresh apples.

Lunch– Whole wheat pasta with marinara sauce and shredded cheese, fresh oranges, and fresh cucumber/carrots.

PM snack– Whole milk yogurt with granola.

Wee Sprout– Fresh cucumber/carrots.

Have a wonderful night.
