Good Afternoon!

For PREK1 sign in, we continued to dive into shapes and today, we sorted them based on size! Each child came up to the board where they chose a card from the bottom. They categorized their shape as ‘little’ or ‘big’.

K.G.2: Compare shapes using informal language to describe their similarities, differences, and parts (e.g., number of sides, length of sides, and vertices).

Later on in PREK1 group, we read, ‘When Sophie Gets Angry..Really Really Angry’ which is from our MACK collection.

Yesterday, children worked on constructing a new shape out of multiple smaller shapes when given an image to follow. Today, children were given a card with a new shape to create but only were given the shapes to use, not the actual instructions. They had to take the shapes and create their new shape by themselves (which is much more challenging!).

K.G.4: Compose simple geometric shapes to form larger shapes (e.g., create a rectangle composed of two triangles).

This morning we offered a shape hunt in the classroom to another group of Wee Friends.  This time we searched for circles.  A group of four scavenged for circles checking every area of the classroom.  After they gathered a basket full of circle shapes they used paint to add a circle layer to our shape process painting!

For our welcome activity this morning, we offered three-dimensional shape trays.  We talked about how shapes like squares, triangles and circles can become three- dimensional shapes like cylinders, cones, pyramids, cubes and spheres.  It was fun to see what we could build with our three dimensional- shapes

PREK2:  Today during group we read the story “Glad Monster Sad Monster”.  We talked about each emotion in the story and decided whether it felt good or difficult when we felt that emotion.  We talked about things we could do when we were feeling an emotion that felt hard for us. 

Breakfast– Puffins cereal with banana.

Lunch– Brown rice with shredded turkey, fresh cantaloupe/pears, and fresh pepper/cucumber.

PM snack– Trail mix with sunflower/pumpkin seeds, raisins and granola.

Wee Sprout– Fresh pepper/cucumber.

Have a wonderful night!
