Good Afternoon!

We pulled out the tape measure this morning to get a gist of how tall members of PREK1 are! We compared the heights and tried to see if there was a peer that was the same height. We loved getting to explore the tape measure!

K.M.1: Make direct comparisons of the length, capacity, weight, and temperature of objects, and recognize which object is shorter, longer, taller, lighter, heavier, warmer, cooler, or holds more.

We were disappointed that we couldn’t go outside this morning on account of rain.  We decided to make the rainy weather feel more fun by created rain paintings!  We used an eye dropper to make “rain drops” on our paper.  We imagined it was a window and the drops were dripping down.  We tipped our paper to make our raindrops run down the paper.  Paige got so excited about her painting that she exclaimed “I just love this…I don’t know what to do with myself…I’m just so proud of this!”.  It was heart warming to see her so excited about her artwork!

We enjoyed some imaginative water play this morning as well.  Arthur and Ryan worked together to problem solve.  They wanted to find a way to pick up the water.  They looked at what they had, tried different things, and through trial and error, reached a solution.  They found that the puff balls worked like sponges and they could collect water by soaking them and squeezing the water into their bowl.  What a wonderful example of authentic learning, building creative problem solving and critical thinking skills through play!

PREK2: We have been making comparisons this week.  We have noticed heavy and light and small/medium/large.  Today we read “The Big Guy Took My Ball”.  We talked about the different size comparisons in the story.  At the end, we thought of something that seemed really big to us.

Breakfast– Overnight oatmeal with cinnamon and fresh blueberries.

Lunch– Farm fresh scrambled eggs with whole wheat tortilla, fresh cantaloupe/apples, and fresh cucumber/broccoli.

PM snack– Air popped popcorn with raisins.

Wee Sprout– Fresh cucumber/pepper.

Have a lovely night.
