Happy Monday!  Just a reminder: We need your child’s updated shot records before winter break.  If you are not sure if we have current records please ask a teacher.  Thank you!

This morning we had a look at our “Class Favorite Color” graphs which we made last week.  This child lead project started with our older group  interviewing all of our friends in class, keeping a tally of everyone’s favorite color choice.  William lead the project and was quickly followed by all of our older friends.  After data had been collected, our older friends made a graph to organize their findings.  We took a look at the graphs after hanging them on the easel this morning.  We were able to deduce that purple had the most class votes.  In response to our findings, we created a class Purple Painting.  All of our friends from oldest to youngest were able to join in!

We had several friends last week wanting to play with our tadpole metamorphosis models during our scientific observations, so this week we built on that interest.  We created a tadpole habitat with the life cycle models to engage our friends in some much wanted imaginative play with them!

We also created a second terrarium inspired by our friend Asher’s continued love of geckos!

We added some new and interesting seeds to our fall nature bin this morning.  We got to explore seed pods from the red bud and the locust tree species.  Several friends were delighted to discover that the large seed pods make a sound like a maraca!

For our MACK curriculum we are focusing on gratitude this week.  Our PREK2 group make a class chart of the things they feel grateful for.
