Welcome to March!
Evie and Mack used a pie chart for their sign in to answer questions surrounding our favorite pizza topping! The last question was, “How many friends were asked about their favorite pizza topping?”. They both were able to add 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 in their heads and come up with the correct answer.
K.W.5: With support, build understanding of a topic using various sources. (Identify relevant pictures, charts, grade-appropriate texts, personal experiences, or people as sources)
Last week, we talked about comparison words in K/PREK1 group. We used a scale to see how much every child weighed and today, we used a kitchen scale to measure items around the environment. There were seven items that we weighed but before we put them on the scale, we guessed how much each item may weigh.
We used the watermelon as our example. The watermelon last week weighed 18 pounds and the group decided that no item that we weighed today would weigh more than 18 pounds. Some of our guesses were really close!
In PREK2 group, each child got a book about a different animal. They chatted about the animal book they had and with the help of Miss Kim, created a Venn Diagram that focused on what the animals ate. Children had to decide if their animal was a herbivore, carnivore, or omnivore.
Mack and Evie built magnatile gems this morning! They used only triangles to create their gems.
Before heading outside, children took turns getting some energy out by jumping on the trampoline! It is our favorite inside gross motor activity!
We were thrilled that the sprinkling subsided even for us to go outside. Children scattered throughout the yard, diving into various activities.
James, Millie, and Nesta played ‘family’. There was a dad, mom, and baby, They chatted about what they were making for dinner (stuffed peppers + pasta + muffins). Later on in their play experience, they pronounced that the mommy was pregnant and they were on the way to the hospital to have another baby! How wide our imaginations are!
