Happy Friday!

First off, a big happy birthday to Daniel who turned SIX today! How time has flown! We loved getting to spend the day with you!

Kindergarteners had ten clip cards that they had to complete. They had to either find a number that comes after or a number that comes before. It is definitely more challenging to figure out what number comes before versus after! We love a challenge!

K.NS.3: Find the number that is one more than or one less than any whole number up to 20.

We started turning our housekeeping space into our newest theme: grocery store! A few of our kindergarteners and older preschoolers sat at the art table where they talked about prices at the grocery store. Their job was to put a price on each grocery item before we placed it into housekeeping.

Children took turns exploring the new grocery store all morning long! They were able to use bags to go shopping.

Somehow, friends got talking about height and Daniel requested a tape measurer to measure his friends. A few older children took turns with the tape measurer, measuring each other and eventually things throughout our environment. We weren’t just measuring: we were comparing heights: “I’m 44 inches and you’re 40 inches so I’m taller than you!”

Happy Veteran’s Day to those who have served and are serving! We appreciate you!
