Good Afternoon!
We’ve been working on sorting things this week based on different attributes. Today, PREK1 group members sorted food into different food groups such as fruits, vegetables, and sweets. We sorted foods such as a donut, strawberry, green bean, and carrot into the appropriate group!
Later on in group, we checked ‘poetry’ off of our book genre list by reading ‘It’s Raining Pigs and Noodles’. Each friend got to pick one poem to read so we read a total of six plus I read a few of my favorite poems from the book. A friend shared, “That looks like a long chapter book!”, before we started reading the book. We talked about the difference between poetry books and chapter books.
K.DA.1: Identify, sort, and classify objects by size, number, and other attributes. Identify objects that do not belong to a particular group and explain the reasoning used.
K.RL.3.1: Recognize familiar narrative text genres (e.g. fiction, nonfiction, fairytales, poems).
This morning we offered a ‘sorting by size’ welcome activity that came with the option of open ended imaginative play. Friends enjoyed finding a small, medium, and large size of each animal. Not only did they sort the animals, they buried them in sand, built them houses and made small, medium, and large foot prints with them.
Everyone was overjoyed to be back outside after all of the rain! Friends played tag or hide and go seek, played in the sandbox and road bikes all morning!
We hope you enjoy a few more pictures from our day!
PREK2: During group today we read the story, “When Sophie Gets Angry”. After the story we talked about what happened at the beginning, the middle and the end of the story. We made a list on the board, creating a simple sequence of when things we remembered from the story had happened.
Breakfast– Whole grain cheerios with banana.
Lunch– Brown rice with shredded turkey, fresh pineapple/pears, and fresh carrots/pepper/cucumber.
PM snack– Whole wheat round crackers with peanut butter and sunflower/pumpkin seeds.
Wee Sprout– Fresh cucumber/carrots/pepper.
Have a lovely night!
