Good Afternoon!

PREK1 group focused on two physical traits that everyone has: eye color and hair color! For PREK1 sign in, children had to identify their hair color and eye color.

Later on in group, we put our findings on a graph. We talked about what graphs are used for and were able to identify the group with the highest number—brown eyes and blonde hair had the most in our group!

Social Studies: K.3.6 Identify and compare similarities and differences in families, classmates, neighbors and neighborhoods, and ethnic and cultural groups.

We offered a special activity this morning for those who wanted to see what families look like for friends in our classroom.  We used black paper shapes to make a house.  Then we chose colored squares to match the family members who live in our home.  We chose as a class to add ourselves to the household tally.  We also decided to include pets.

Mom=red  Dad=green  Brother=blue  Sister=purple  Dog=brown  Cat=yellow

PREK2: During group today we sang “the name song” and clapped the syllables for everyone’s name in the circle.  We read the first scenario in the book “What Would Darla Do?” which outlined a conflict between siblings at the breakfast table.  We chose as a group what Darla should do to solve the problem.  I am proud to say that most of our friends felt Darla should move to another seat rather than push her sister off of the seat she wanted . At the end of the story we thought about meal time at our home.  We added something we could do to help at meal time to a class list.

Breakfast– Whole grain cheerios with fresh oranges.

Lunch– Refried bean and shredded cheese quesadillas on whole wheat tortilla, fresh plums/watermelon, and fresh snap peas/cucumber.

PM snack– Whole wheat bagel with cream cheese.

Wee Sprout– Fresh cucumber/snap peas/pepper.

Have a wonderful night!
