Happy Friday!

We ended out our week in PREK1 reading, ‘Strictly No Elephants’. Earlier in the day, children signed in where they were prompted to share a way that they can be a community helper in the classroom. We continued this theme into group time where we filled out a web with ways we can be helpers!

Social Studies: K.2.1 Give examples of people who are community helpers (inside the classroom and outside the classroom) and describe how they help us.

PREK2: We continued our life skills conversations at group today.  We read the book “Hands are not for Hitting” which gives lots of great examples of things we CAN do with our hands when we feel a need to use them as well as things we can do instead of hitting to communicate how we feel and to calm our bodies before we react.  At the end of group we made a list of all the things we can do with our hands.

Earlier this week one of our older friends started making patterns with colored water.  We started talking about different ways we could make patterns, so today we set out some art materials for older friends to experiment with making patterns.  There were a few that really got into pattern making and made five and six different patterns with their materials!

Breakfast: Brown rice cakes with peanut butter and fresh orange slices.

Lunch: Hummus on whole wheat bread with bananas/pears and cucumbers/carrots.

Snack: Pretzel sticks, sliced cheddar cheese, and banana.

Wee Sprouts: Fresh carrots and green peppers.

Have a fantastic weekend!
