Good Afternoon!

This week, we’re talking all things motion! Mack and Evie had to put in order various body movements from slowest to fastest for their kindergarten sign in activity.

Science: K.3.2 Investigate that things move in different ways, such as fast, slow, etc.

There were nine items from throughout the environment that we focused on today for K/PREK1 group! I read aloud each word card and children worked together to sort them into two categories: things that WILL roll and things that WILL NOT roll. We made the list prior to testing out our guesses!

After we sent an item down the ramp, we placed a checkmark next to the item if we were right. The group was correct about every single guess!

At the end, several children shared that the items that rolled were all round and sphere shaped.

As Miss Kim’s PREK2 group got to school this morning, she asked them to go find an object in the classroom that they think will roll.

All of their objects that they chose rolled down the ramp!

We have a special event coming up in a few weeks so children came to the table today to practice their pouring skills! They LOVED transferring water from glasses to pitcher and back again.

We headed outside for a bit before lunch. A few friends gathered around an ant hill that they found by the garage. This led into a conversation about how we treat the various creatures in our backyard environment.

Breakfast– Whole wheat bagel with butter and fresh pears.

Lunch– Whole wheat pasta with marinara sauce and shredded cheese, fresh oranges, and fresh cucumber/carrot.

PM snack– Whole milk yogurt with honey granola.

Wee Sprout– Fresh carrots/cucumber.

Have a wonderful night!
