Happy Friday!

We ended our week in group by sorting items based on how much money they cost. Each group member came up to the board where they chose a card that had an item written on it. They taped it under one of two categories: costs A LOT of money or costs A LITTLE money.

Later on in PREK1 group, we read ‘Save It’ which is written by the same author of a book we read earlier in the week during group called, ‘Spend It!’. In today’s book, the main character wanted to buy a house so that she could have a quiet space away from her five siblings that she babysits a lot to get an allowance. She settles on a playhouse which lead into the conversation about sign in and the simple fact that things cost different amounts of money! We loved learning about the aspect of saving for something that we really want in the future.

**These books have been great at teaching us about money at a level that we can understand and comprehend. It’s a series with different topics such as spending, saving, earning, and giving. The author’s name is Cinders McLeod.

We hope you enjoy some pictures from our day!

PREK2:  Today we read the story “Stick and Stone”.  Since friends have been interested in writing stories, we learned more about this interest area.  Before we read the story, we talked about what characters are and what a setting is in a story.  We recognized characters as being able to talk, walk and having faces.  We talked about how the setting is a place or parts of the story that can’t talk, move and that don’t have faces.  After the story, the kids did a great job categorizing characters and settings on our chart!  Great job listening and learning PREK2!

Breakfast: Brown rice cakes with peanut butter and fresh clementines.

Lunch: Hummus on whole wheat tortillas, fresh banana/apple/clementines/pineapple, and fresh cucumber/carrot.
