Good Afternoon!

The kindergarten sign in required children to draw a line from a shape to the shape name. We talked about the number of sides on each shape as the lines were being drawn.

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

We played a round of memory game with rhyming words in K/PREK1! Cards were placed picture side down and we went around the circle so everyone could have a turn. We played until all of the matches were spoken for. Not only did children have to decide if the two words rhymed but friends had to pay attention to where the cards were which was the hardest part!

K.RF.3.1: Identify and produce rhyming words.

In PREK2, children were given one shape. They looked at the shape and using sticks, made their own shape!

A fun, interactive activity was set up on the backdoor. Miss Annastecia created a contact paper snowman! There were various materials that were set out for friends to put on the snowman including puff balls, foam pieces, wooden sticks, and crinkle paper. Children LOVED adding to the snowman.

IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR A NEW WINTER TIME ACTIVITY, THIS WAS A BIG HIT!

“Children learn as they play, and more importantly in play, they learn how to learn.”

We switched out the swings in the habitrail area. We got out the green bar which proves to be a little more challenging for friends to get up on the bar. BUT it offers a great opportunity for perseverance and hard work.

Breakfast– Kix and banana.

Lunch– Ham on whole wheat tortilla, fresh watermelon, and fresh cucumber/snap peas.

PM snack– Whole wheat english muffins with peanut butter and sliced cheddar cheese.

Wee Sprout– Fresh cucumber/snap peas.

Have a great night!
