Happy Monday!

**Wee Friends will be closed Thursday, November 28th and Friday, November 29th for Thanksgiving Break.

We kicked off our week by sorting shapes into two groups for PREK1 sign in. Our two categories were ‘shapes with sides’ and ‘shapes with NO sides’. Each group member came to the board where they chose one shape card. They looked at the shape, identified it, and figured out which group their shape belonged.

K.RV.2.2: Identify and sort pictures of objects into categories (e.g. colors, shapes, opposites).

This morning at the round table, we explored opposites.  We set up four different trays to try sorting into opposite categories.  The kids tried as many or few trays as they wanted.  We offered Heavy/Light, Black/White, Soft/Hard and Smooth/Rough.  The kids were encouraged to carefully observe their objects using eyes and hands when they came to the table.  They talked about how the objects felt or looked different from one another. 

We had some creative and interesting work going on in the art center.  Paige made some Multi-noculars out of recycled materials .  She has been very excited about making things with these materials.  Katherine made her own Candyland board game!

PREK2: During group we read the book “Its Ok to be Different”.  We found some things in the book that were opposite like big and small.  Afterward we came up to the board and got a card with the name of an object to find on the sorting tray.  When we found our object we decided whether it felt hard or soft, then placed our card on the board.

Breakfast– Whole wheat toast with butter and fresh oranges.

Lunch– Whole wheat pasta with black beans, fresh cantaloupe/pineapple/oranges, and fresh cucumber/broccoli.
