Good Afternoon!

We kicked off our morning by completing our PREK1 sign in! Each group member had to search the classroom to find a peer that answered the following prompt: “Find a classmate in our class who is shorter than you!”. PREK1 members searched the classroom and all easily were able to find a friend that was shorter than them. A few friends wrote their name on our sign in board as well as their peers name! Everyone talked about the letters that we used to spell their peers name.

K.M.1: Make direction comparisons of the length, capacity, weight, and temperature of objects, and recognize which object is shorter, longer, taller, lighter, heavier, warmer, cooler, or holds more.

Our morning activity focused on weight as we brought up the scale from the basement! Several various items of different weights were put out at the circle table. Children immediately started using the scale and a few different methods to weigh the items. Some friends chose to weigh two items at a time, one on each side while other children chose to put multiple items in each tray at a time. There were a few friends who explored the scale most of the morning! One of the constant conversations that children kept having were comparing items such as the puff balls weighing less than the rocks. The continuous interest lasted all morning long until we went outside.

We headed outside where we got our daily dose of fresh air! The sunshine sure helped us stay warm .

PREK2: During group today we talked about out light weight and heavy weight activity from earlier this morning.  We tried to think of something heavy or light in weight.  As usual the group came up with some great answers!

Breakfast– Kix and fresh strawberries.

Lunch– Homemade chicken avocado sandwiches, fresh pineapple/cantaloupe/strawberries, and fresh cucumber/carrot.

PM snack– Whole wheat bagel with cream cheese.

Wee Sprout– Fresh cucumber/carrot.

Have a wonderful night.
