Good Afternoon. What an absolutely beautiful day!

Our one year old’s are really starting to shine through with their words. Today, as Arthur was playing with the colorful textured ramps he says. “what’s that?” They are doing so well.  

We are extremely excited that their language is flourishing and can’t wait to hear many more words. 

Our sensory/art activity today was using water colors on small and large sized coffee filters. We used vibrant springy colors and took much pleasure in making them.

 

We then headed outdoors to enjoy this gorgeous day!!!

We have been very interested in drawing with chalk on the concrete paths vs the chalkboard. We had so much fun drawing all kinds of things.

Breakfast: Whole grain ix cereal and apples.

Lunch Whole wheat grilled cheese sandwiches, fresh yellow pepper and pears.

Snack: Whole wheat bagels with butter and cinnamon and fresh blueberries.

Have a great night.

Good Afternoon!

Evie and Mack matched coins to the coin name for their sign in. They drew lines to the matches and used their knowledge of letter sounds to identify the coin name.

Social Studies: K.4.1 Explain that people work to earn money to buy the things they want. Introduce money names and values.

In K/PREK1 group, we looked at real coins and a real one dollar bill. On each piece of money, we talked about the characteristics of the coins, specifically the year that it was made! Most of the coins were made in the late 1990’s, which they thought was pretty funny that coins could be that old! We also talked about the amount that each coin was worth.

Good Afternoon!

We spent some time inside this morning where children dispersed into different areas of the environment towards activities that peaked their interest. Mack made his own dinosaur balance game by placing the dinosaurs in different spaces, trying to see how tall he could build it.

When we went outside, we got to explore a few of our new, updated spaces!

Children used the bug jars to search for various bugs in the backyard. Mack and Daniel searched the newly redone garden area while Evie searched towards the tree on the bottom part of the yard. She ended up finding a worm!

Two three year old boys worked together to build a tall structure using our new blocks while Mack and Daniel built an ultra demon. There are so many ways to build with our new blocks—we are enjoying watching children figure it all out!

Breakfast– Kix and fresh pears.

Lunch– Peanut butter on whole wheat tortilla, string cheese, fresh pineapple, and fresh carrots.

Good Afternoon.

Today we engaged in an exciting art activity! We used our large red bins with a piece of white paper inside them along with paint and our bumpy textured balls. We moved our bins in all different directions to make the balls roll all over the paper to make really neat designs on our papers. We had a lot of fun with this activity.

Arthur picked a dandelion “flower” and found much interest and attraction with it. He was very happy to show teachers and friends of his beautiful discovery! 

When we come in from our outdoor play we always take our shoes off as we will be napping after our lunch. Our two older friends are our special helpers and line the shoes up nicely and in unique ways. Sometimes it’s a straight line or a circle or even in a silly arrangement. Either way, the kiddos love being helpers and they do a great job!

Breakfast: Whole grain Kix cereal and apples.

Lunch: Whole wheat tortillas with hummus, corn and oranges.

Snack: Whole wheat bagels with peanut butter, and cheddar cheese.

Have a fantastic night.
