Happy Friday!
**Wee Friends will be closed next Friday, April 15 for Good Friday. Thank you!**
We’ve been talking about plants and animals all week long. Today for kindergarten sign in, we focused on food that we eat and how they are grown. Mack and Evie took pictures of eight different foods and sorted them into three groups: grown on a tree, on a vine, or in the roots. Some of the food that they sorted were oranges, apples, strawberries, potatoes, tomatoes, carrots, and peaches.
Science: K.4.1 Give examples of plants and animals.
We read, ‘Flower Garden’ in K/PREK1 group. This led into a web that we started focusing on different flower names. Evie and Mack were able to name flowers such as sunflower, poppy, tulip, rose, and snowdrop (impressive, right?!).
Mack took this flower interest and transferred it to his journal where he drew his own flowers! Evie added in some animals but drawing a pig family! We love journal time!

The plants in the science area have been taking OFF. They are growing so quickly! We can notice a substantial difference from morning to afternoon so Miss Annastecia got out a ruler. With the help of a few friends, they measure a few different plants and each day, we’ll measure the plants to see how much they’ve grown. If you’d like to look at the data we’ve collected, our graph is on the back of the front door.
We hope you have a fun, goofy weekend full of smiles and laughs. Here’s a few pictures to start your weekend off right!
