Good Afternoon!

**Friday will be holiday pajama/clothing day!

PREK1 group members worked on counting syllables today for sign in! Each child pointed to a holiday word and we worked together to count the number of syllables in the word. Their goal was to find a two syllable word. When children chose the word ‘snow’, we found out that it didn’t work because snow is a one syllable word. When each child found a two syllable word, they circled the word and wrote their name next to the word.

We enjoyed a problem solving sensory/science experiment as our activity for the morning.  Friends were presented with a variety of arctic and Antarctic animals frozen in blocks or cubes of ice.  The goal was to melt our animals free of the ice.  Some friends first tried an eye dropper for the big blocks.  As this was tedious, they focused on the smaller penguin ice cubes.  Paige found that stirring them in water was the best solution and freed a few of the trapped birds.  Katherine felt that the water temperature was too cold for a successful melt, so she asked to try warm water.  After trying that,  she reported that the process was running more smoothly…in not so many words:)

In the art center, Cassie and our younger girls has a little painting party.  They enjoyed conversation around what they were painting! 

In PREK2 group today we sang the name song and clapped our name syllables.  We read the story “I Feel Silly” and reported how we were feeling today.  Some of us were more elaborate sharing about our feelings:)

Breakfast: Oatmeal with cinnamon and bananas.

Lunch: Scrambled farm fresh eggs with whole wheat tortillas, fresh cantaloupe/apples, and fresh carrot/cucumber.
