Good Afternoon!

We used a globe to aid in our sign in question this morning for our PREK1 group kiddos. We looked at the globe and identified all of the ‘blue’ on the globe as water. Ryan said, “Like seas!”. We talked about the various types of bodies of water that make up our Earth.

Social Studies: K.3.2 Identify maps and globes as ways of representing Earth and understand the differences between a map/globe.

We had a long day indoors so we made sure to fill the time with plenty of activities!  With the windchill so low on one hand and friends eager to play in the snow on the other, we came up with a great solution.  We brought the snow inside to play with!  Friends enjoyed digging in the snow with shovels and making snowballs with ball scissors! 

Elsewhere in the classroom, we offered an obstacle course to get those gross motor muscles moving!  The course came with bounce blocks, a balance beam and a trampoline!

At the round table, friends enjoyed a fine motor activity.  They used large pinecones to decorate with rubber bands, puff balls and holiday beads.

PREK2: During group today, we read the story “All You Need For A Snowman”.  After the story we talked about the things that the snowman wore in the book.  We came up with our own idea about how we would want to dress our own snowman and made a class list.

Breakfast– Toasted oatmeal squares with fresh pineapple.

Lunch– Brown rice with shredded turkey, fresh cantaloupe/banana, and fresh snap peas/cucumber/carrot.

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

Have a wonderful night.
