Good Afternoon!

**Our phone that we use to take pictures with was out of commission today. We sincerely apologize and hope to be back to our regular scheduled programming tomorrow!

As for today, several children helped Miss Kim make homemade banana muffins for our afternoon snack! Children love being in the kitchen helping and asking questions.

In K/PREK1, Mack and Evie sorted animals onto the Venn Diagram. We read two non fiction stories before tackling the activity. One of the short stories was about horses while the other one focused on sharks!

They sorted the animals based on what they eat for food. We talked about the terms ‘herbivore’, ‘carnivore’, and ‘omnivore’ before we sorted the animals.

Science: K.4.1 Give examples of plants and animals.

The rest of our morning revolved around a few activities that captured our friends attention.

The first activity focused on chains. Children worked together to create a chain that almost stretched the length of the house! It was equally has challenging taking about the chain before lunchtime!

Friends gathered in the habitrail area to explore catapults again. They used the information they learned yesterday to change up their strategy a little bit so that the bean bags flew in the direction they were wanting.

And of course, a cooking experience captivated our friends as they helped measure ingredients for our banana muffins. We love making wholesome, healthy food with our class!

Breakfast– Whole grain oatmeal with cinnamon and banana.

Lunch– Farm fresh scrambled eggs with whole wheat tortilla, fresh apples/pineapple, and fresh cucumber/pepper.
