Good Afternoon!
We worked with shapes today in K/PREK1 group. Each friend had three shapes that they had to identify and place under the shape name. We talked about how many sides each shape has as well as similarities and differences between shapes. For example, we talked about how a square and rectangle are similar and different: they both have four sides but a rectangle is longer than a square.
K.4.1: Identify and describe geometric objects: circle, triangle, square, rectangle, diamond, trapezoid, hexagon, octagon. parallelogram, sphere, and cube.
In PREK2, children played a game using hexagon pieces and a gameboard. The main object of the game was to work on rhyming words! Miss Kim started a conversation about rhyming words and what rhyming words sound like.
‘Peanut’ was the star of our art activity this morning! Friends had various interpretations of what she looks like.
We got some fresh air by going for a short walk before lunch. We even got to see a train that was on the tracks down the road!
Breakfast– Whole grain oatmeal with fresh watermelon.
Lunch– Farm fresh scrambled eggs with whole wheat tortilla, fresh cantaloupe, and fresh cherry tomatoes/cucumber/carrots.
PM snack– Blue corn chips and hummus.
Wee Sprout– Fresh carrots/cherry tomatoes.
Have a wonderful night!
