Happy Monday!

Kindergarteners kicked off their week by completing a sign in that focused on long and short sounds of the five main vowels. There was one short sound and three long sounds that children had to figure out. Hearing long vowel sounds are usually easier because the letter says its name (Eagle).

K.RF.4.3: Recognize the long and short sounds for the five major vowels.

Each K/PREK1 member solved a word problem. C’s word problem was, “C was outside playing in the snow for six minutes in the morning and then five minutes in the afternoon. How many minutes total did C spend outside in the snow?”. I wrote down the two main numbers that we took from the word problem and each friend had to solve their problem.

K.CA.1-2: Solve real- world problems, objects, or drawings that involve addition and subtraction within 10. Demonstrate the equation (e.g. 5=2+3 and 5=4+1).

Throughout the morning, children scattered into different areas of the house such as art table where we saw detailed drawings of tooth fairies. Others spent their time on the building rug where children either built with various materials or read fall books.

The highlight of our day: snow! The pictures say enough .

Breakfast– Whole wheat bagel with butter and fresh pears.

Lunch– Whole wheat pasta with marinara sauce and shredded cheese, fresh pears/apples, and fresh cucumber/carrots.

PM snack– Whole milk yogurt with graham crackers.

Wee Sprout– Fresh carrots/cucumber.

Have a lovely night!
