Happy Monday!

We were busy today in many different areas of the classroom.  Several friends helped to test some new painting materials to see what kind of marks they made when pressed against paper.  In the reading area, groups of friends gathered to look at books together and talk about the stories.  In the building area, a group project evolved.  A group of friends worked together with the notch blocks to create individual “animal rooms”.  In case you wonder if this was a zoo, I confirmed that it was not.  Every group member was in agreement that this was different from a zoo, so I apparently failed to see the subtleties.  The mindfulness activities have been very successful for helping our friends calm their bodies when needed.  The finger mazes have been particularly popular!

PREK2: During group time we read the story “What Should Darla Do?”. The book allows us to pick what choice Darla should make in a social situation and then tells us the outcome of the choice made.  We talked about what choices we thought worked out best in the end. 

Breakfast:  Whole wheat bagels with fresh orange slices.

Lunch:  Whole wheat pasta with marinara and cheddar cheese, fresh oranges/bananas and carrots/green beans.

PM Snack: Whole milk yogurt with graham crackers.

Wee Sprouts:  Fresh peppers and carrots slices.
