Happy Friday!

We kicked off our day by exploring an AABAAB pattern for our PREK1 sign in. Each group member came to the board to sign under the colored counter that came next in the pattern. As children got to the board, they said the pattern aloud: “blue, blue, red, blue, blue, red, blue, blue, ____”. Everyone quickly shouted, “Red!”.

K.CA.5: Create, extend, and give an appropriate rule for simple repeating and growing patterns with numbers and shapes.

Today our farm group created a book of all the leaves they collected on the trip yesterday.  They worked on finding all of the leaves that looked alike and putting them together on the same page.  They used their kid spelling to write the name of each species of leaf in the book.  Everyone really enjoyed the project and learned a lot in the subject areas of science, art and language arts in the process!

In the art center friends explored “Halloween night” play dough along with cookie cutters, bats and spiders to inspire imaginative play.  Ryan made an “icky Halloween pizza with bats and spiders as toppings”. 

We also explored a new Halloween sensory bin.  We got to turn an argument into a math lesson as we carefully divided six cauldrons among three friends and made sure everyone had an equal amount!

Breakfast– Brown rice cakes with peanut butter and banana.

Lunch– Cheese quesadillas on whole wheat tortilla, fresh cantaloupe/oranges, and fresh snap peas/cucumber.

PM snack– String cheese and pretzels.

Wee Sprout– Fresh snap peas/peppers.

Have a great night!
