Happy Friday!

PREK1 kiddos ended the week exploring with magnatiles for their sign in activity. Each group member was given a card that showed a picture of a shape created with several magnatile shapes. For example, Ryan was tasked at finding one square and two triangles. He used those three shapes to make a new shape: a trapezoid!

We continued exploring shape building at the light table.  We found that there were a variety of triangles offered to explore.  We tried making different shapes out of the triangles, finding we could make hexagons, diamonds and squares using only triangles.  We also made other kinds of structures like “rocket ships” and “houses” using a mixture of shapes.

Our younger friends enjoyed a shape game to see how many shapes they remembered.  The searched blindly through a jar of beans pulling out all of the shapes and trying to remember what they were called.  Friends also enjoyed re-hiding them for the next friend!

Breakfast– Brown rice cakes with peanut butter and fresh pineapple.

Lunch– Turkey on whole wheat bread, fresh pineapple/kiwi/pear/grapes, and fresh cucumber/broccoli/pepper.

PM snack– Fresh pears, cheddar block cheese, and goldfish.

Wee Sprout– Fresh broccoli/cucumber/pepper.

Have a lovely weekend!
