Happy Friday!

This week, we’ve been practicing counting by 10’s to 100. After our PREK1 friends counted to 100 by 10’s this morning, they wrote their name on the sign in sheet. In group, we read a book titled, ‘Spend It!’ which is a story surrounding allowance and how to go about spending it! The term ‘want’ was talked about a lot and within the story, we got a chance to practice our counting by 10’s to 100 as there were ten groups of ten carrots!

We also got a chance to talk about the library and how librarians categorize books! We looked at the book that we read in group and found the authors last name. We talked about how the authors last name started with an ‘M’ so it would be categorized with others books where the authors last name started with M!

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

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

This morning we spent some time with our tadpoles…That’s right they are still here:)  They have a long three month metamorphosis and these were a late hatch collected from Ms Linseys pond.  We observed today that the tadpoles had sprouted legs which was exciting.  We all spent time watching them through magnifying glasses to get a look at the new legs.  Several friends made recordings in their tadpole life cycle journal, drawing what they saw as well as verbalizing what they saw.  Older friends were able to sound out and kid spell some of the words they wanted to record in their journal.  There were a couple of friends who added what they would like to see in the tadpole tank.  One friend made a castle for the tadpoles and another added bunny ears because the new legs reminded her of a bunny.  We got a chance to talk about observational drawing vs imaginative drawing and how we were combining the two in some of the drawings we made.

 

PREK2: In group today we read “May there always be Sunshine”.  After the story we talked about things that we hoped would always be there because those things are special to us.  We could chose something from the story or we could chose something of our own. 

Breakfast– Brown rice cakes with peanut butter and fresh watermelon.

Lunch– Hummus on whole wheat tortilla, fresh pears, and fresh carrots/pepper.

PM snack– String cheese and pretzels.

Wee Sprout– Fresh pepper/carrots.

Have a wonderful weekend.
