Happy Monday!

We had some friends doing lemonade stands this summer so we thought we would give the opportunity for “lemonade stand” play.  We set up an area for individual play which usually draws the younger group of friends. We set up another area for group play which older friends usually enjoy most.  The most popular thing however was to try every station!  The only complaint was not being able to involve the whole class to play at the same time…so an outside version of this imaginative play theme is brewing in days to come :).

A group worked together to put together a giant alphabet puzzle.  Our older friends repeated letter sounds as they matched the letters to the squares and arranged it all in alphabetical order.  The younger kids began repeating the letter sounds too as they helped.  What a great spontaneous and authentic teaching moment between out older and younger friends!

Our PREK1 group has been working hard sounding out words as they practice kid spelling in their journals!
