Happy Monday!

Our three kindergarteners were given five different items, varying in length. They had to sort the items starting with the shortest to the longest. Daniel fixed a mistake he had made very quickly while Bo and C compared the lengths of the items before placing them in order.

K.M.1: Make direct comparisons of the length, capacity, weight, and temperature of objects, and recognize which object is shorter, longer, taller, lighter, heavier, warmer, cooler, or holds more.

After reading, ‘Kindness Grows’ in K/PREK1 group which is a book from our MACK section, each child got a different colored pipe cleaner. We measured the pipe cleaners using a ruler. When I got the ruler out, I asked the group, “Does anyone know what this is called?”. A few friends called it a tape measurer while Rowan raised her hand and suggested, “Ruler?!”

Each child used the ruler to measure their pipe cleaner and we wrote down how long it is. Once we had the measurements of each pipe cleaner, we sorted them starting with the shortest to the longest!

An art activity was available at the art table this morning. We didn’t use brushes though: we used spray bottles to distribute the water colors! Each friend used a leaf stencil so leave prints were left behind once they were done spray their paper.

Breakfast– Whole wheat toast with peanut butter and fresh pears.

Lunch– Whole wheat noodles with butter and shredded beef, fresh watermelon, and fresh cucumber/carrots.

PM snack– Whole milk yogurt with granola.

Wee Sprout– Fresh cucumber/carrots.

Have a great night!
