Good Afternoon!

Yesterday in K/PREK1 group, we read ‘Are You My Mother?’ by Dr. Seuss. After we were done reading the story, we talked about the three main types of ending punctuation and when we use each. Today, Bo and Daniel completed a kindergarten sign in where they had to distinguish between each punctuation mark by circling them with a specific marker color.

K.W.6.2b: Punctuation– Recognizing and naming ending punctuation.

We read, ‘Same, Same, But Different’ in K/PREK1 group today which is a book in our MACK section. To begin the story, we met two children who became pen pals that lived across the country from each other. While they shared similarities such as riding a bus to school, the look of the buses was quite different!

The MACK that we will focus on this week is:

Children will celebrate the differences and similarities that connect all people.

Several children explored the morning welcome activity. The activity was an open ended activity where children used three materials: colored bears, popsicle sticks, and white tiles. Children used these materials in a variety of ways! In any open ended activity, children guide where the activity goes and teachers serve as a helper if needed. For example, getting out other materials that they may need to extend their learning.

We enjoyed another nice morning outside. So many things happened during our outdoor experience. Daniel practiced his story telling by telling a group of his peers a few spooky Halloween stories. Friends searched throughout the yard for leaves by using their hands or a barrel. A group of younger peers practiced their tracing skills by tracing their friends body outlines with chalk while Maggie used the chalk to practice her letter A!
