Good Afternoon!

**Reminder: Wee Friends will be closed starting Monday, June 24 through Friday, July 5th. We’ll reopen Monday, July 8th.

This week, we kicked off a conversation about maps and globes. For today’s sign in, children looked at a map of the United States. I asked, “What’s one thing that you can see on this map?”. A few friends pointed to a specific state while another friend pointed to our friends to the north: Canada! This allowed us to talk in group about the difference between states and countries. One friend had pointed to Alaska so we talked about how Alaska is a state even though it’s not connected to the rest of the states. One of our friends is visiting Italy and the group asked, “Is Hannah is one of the states?!”. Great question to start our group time tomorrow!

Social Studies: K.3.2 Identify maps and globes as ways of representing Earth and understand differences between a map/globe.

Today we explored beading in the sensory bin.  We could make patterns, count or just use our imaginations.  Arthur, Paige and Hannah got interested in how many beads they could fit on their string.  We got to talk about simple addition as they added one more bead.  Each time they added another they asked “How many now?”.  We talked about what number comes next.

PREK2: Today we read “Alphabet Adventure”.  After the story we looked for the first letter of out name on the board then put our name sticker next to it.
