Good Afternoon!

In K/PREK1 group, we read ‘Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs’ which is one of our favorite fiction stories! Children love to fantasize about food falling from the sky as well as sharing what foods they would pick for each meal.

An activity was done in PREK2 group that focused on the story, ‘The Rabbit Listened’. There were several animals that were identified in the story so after the story was done, children put the animals in order for which they appeared in the story!

At the art table, friends got to paint ice in circular trays! They used a variety of water colors. Everyone had a different takeaway from seeing watercolors on the ice.

As the activity went on, the ice transformed and started to melt. This resulted in children commenting on the properties of ice and how easily the ice was broken since it had been sitting out. A group of friends talked about what would happen if hot water was poured on the ice melt. A simple art exploration turned into a science experiment that prompted conversations about the properties of water!

Children gathered on the building rug which was transformed to the yoga rug! Miss Annastecia brought in yoga dice from home. Each child was given a turn to roll the yoga dice to determine what pose the group tried next. The pose that was most challenging was ‘Cowface’. Cowface required children to sit straight up with their legs crossed over each other while bent. They had to take their arms and try to connect them behind their back (one arm over shoulder and one under)—it was challenging for all of us!
