Happy Friday!
Our sign in for PREK1 asked the question, “What is your favorite day of the week?”. Answers were quite similar as the responses were only three days of the week: Friday, Saturday, or Sunday! Right as a child started writing their favorite day of the week, they shared why. One friend shared that their favorite day of the week was Friday because they get pizza and the next day is Saturday!
Later in group, we did our last calendar session of the week. We quickly realized that it’s a three day weekend because of Memorial Day! One friend shared, “Usually I don’t like Monday’s but I’ll like that one!”. 
Social Studies: K.1.5 Explain that calendars are used to represent days of the week and months of the year.
It was a day filled with open ended activities at Wee Friends! Outside we set out water, pipes, connectors and funnels. Then, let groups of six work together to figure out what to do. The group built a nice structure to pour water. We learned about how to make something stand by making an even support system and building a support structure at the bottom. We also learned about water flow as we tried making a long pipe system that went down the stairs. We talked about how water always flows downward to the lowest point!
In the art center we explored what to make with playdough and dinosaurs. There were lots of ideas. We had caves, nests filled with eggs…even dinosaur shoes and clothes!
PREK2: At group today we read the story “Pie in the Sky”. As we read, we went around the circle. For each page, one friend in the group described one thing on the page using a descriptive color. At the end we came up to the board and tried to remember what we saw. Everyone was able to do the exercise! What great memories!
