Good Afternoon!
After reading Dr. Seuss’ ABC for K/PREK1 group, we gathered in a circle where children worked on their rhyming word comprehension. Each child was given one word puzzle piece. Daniel, for example, was given the word ‘sub’. I gave him several different tile choices that I had in my hand and he had to tell me which word rhymed with sub, which ended up being ‘tub’!
K.RF.3.1: Identify and produce rhyming words.
The welcome activity attracted several children today. It was an open ended activity that involved two manipulatives: wooden circle tiles and felt teddy bears.
A few children chose to display these manipulatives by showing off their one to one correspondence skills by placing one bear onto one tile. Others chose to strategically place them around their wooden tray.
A few of our older boys asked to do the wood working bench this morning. The wood working bench is an activity that children four years or older can partake in. It requires children to take their own safety measures as well as ever-growing hand eye coordination.
We had a fantastic morning outside—the evidence is in the pictures! 
Breakfast– Whole grain oatmeal with cinnamon and fresh oranges.
