Hello!

Yesterday, we talked about the days of the week in group and sign in so today, we focused on the months! Children signed in under the month that comes after May! We read ‘A Child’s Calendar’ during PREK1 group which highlights each month and what it may look like with weather or holidays. Children always acknowledge the month that their birthday is in!

Social Studies: K.1.5 Explain that calendars are used to represent days of the week and months of the year.

A few of our older friends used scissors in the sensory bin to cut leaves. We’ve been interested in cutting with scissors lately at the art table so they cut leaves to use for their salad! Bowls and tongs were supplied so that salads could be created. They talked about the different sizes of leaves as well as the parts of the leaf.

Trays were made available on the circle table this morning with kinetic sand and various loose parts. White tiles, wooden circles, and small animals were placed in the middle of the lazy susan that children could use in their play. This type of open ended play allows children to use their imagination since there is no right or wrong or following of directions! For example, Nesta took her kinetic sand and built a home for her animals. She used the wooden circles for a few animals to hide in.

A few friends helped Miss Linsey plant green beans and cucumbers in our garden. We can’t wait to see the vegetables flourish this year because vegetables are our absolute favorite!
