Good Afternoon!

PREK1 friends started their morning by coming to the sign in message where they had to determine what shape came next in the given shape pattern.

K.CA.5: Create, extend, and give an appropriate rule for simple repeating and growing patterns with numbers and shapes.

In PREK1 group, not only did we have to figure out what shape came next in the pattern but we also had to take color into account! Each friend got one piece of white paper with a shape on it. We identified each pattern and when friends had the missing shape, they’d raise their hand and tape the shape into the blank space at the end.

We continued working on reproducing and extending patterns at our welcome activity this morning.  We were given the challenge of creating an AABB and an ABC pattern using the pattern cards as a starting pint.  Several older friends extended their cubes into long color patterns of both types.  Younger friends tended to lay the individual cubes on top of the pattern cards matching them up.  Some friends were most interested in simply making a very long rocket ship :).

In the sensory bin we used measuring cups of green and purple water to make a pretend witches’ brew.  Everyone was able to mix up a brew and then use tweezers to add spiders, ants, snakes and lizards to their spooky concoction! 

Breakfast: Cheerios with fresh watermelon.

Lunch: Peanut butter on whole wheat bread, fresh pears/banana, and fresh carrots/cucumber.

PM Snack: Whole wheat cinnamon raisin bagel with cream cheese.

Wee Sprouts: Fresh green beans and tomatoes.
