Good Afternoon!

Kindergarteners worked with four books for their sign in. We talked specifically about books in libraries and how they’re sorted by the librarian. When Daniel was asked if he knew how the books were sorted in a library, he answer, “By the authors name I think!”.

We looked at all four books as well as the author of each book and wrote down the last names. Then, using their knowledge of alphabetical order, they put the books into the correct order that you’d find them in the library!

K.1.19: Learn and apply knowledge of alphabetical order (first letter) when using a classroom or school library/media center.

After we read, “Giraffe’s Can’t Dance’ from our MACK collection, each K/PREK1 group member was given their counting sheet. I counted to 100 by ten’s first as a guide and then as children felt comfortable, they raised their hand and gave it a go!

K.NS.1: Count to at least 100 by ones and tens.

Various sized cardboard tubes were brought up from the basement to use in habitrail. A group of children worked together to create a track that started halfway up the habitrail and went down to the ground. They used a variety of cars to see if the cars made it all the way to the end without getting stuck.

What a gorgeous morning it was! Daniel and Bo spent time collecting leaves from the backyard environment and proceeded to make a leaf pile on the table down at the bottom of the yard while Rowan and several friends exerted some energy using the scooters.

Breakfast– Whole grain oatmeal with cinnamon and fresh strawberries.

Lunch– Farm fresh scrambled eggs with whole wheat flatbread, fresh cantaloupe/banana, and fresh pepper/cucumber.

Have a lovely night!
