Good Afternoon!

PREK1 group worked with a simple ABCABC pattern for sign in this morning. They used color and shape to determine what comes next in the shape pattern.

Later on in PREK1 group, we read ‘Pete’s A Pizza’ which led into our group activity. We talked about how graphs and charts help display information in an easy way so we took a poll on our favorite pizza toppings! It’s easy to see that we are a ‘cheese’ group, with a little mushroom sprinkled in .

K.CA.5: Create, extend, and give an appropriate rule for simple repeating and growing patterns with numbers and shapes.

K.W.5: With support, build understanding of a topic using various sources. (Identify relevant pictures, charts, grade-appropriate texts, personal experiences, or people as sources)

We explored patterns at our welcome activity this morning. Several kids looked at the pattern in the book and were able to use it in a new way…filling the counting tray with the color pattern in ascending unfix bars.  This is great to see these kids understanding pattern enough to be creative with expressing it. 

The art center produced a wide range of ideas this morning!  Several kids used drawing books to learn new ways of drawing animals.  Others created three dimensional creations from wands, to paper outfits to “potato chip makers”.  Others wanted to further explore drip painting so we offered those materials to work with as well.   

PREK2: In group today we read “Kindness Starts with Me”.  It talked about doing things for others that you would want done to you.  At the end of the story, we thought of something we could do for other people at home or at school to show kindness.

Breakfast– Whole wheat toast with butter and fresh oranges.

Lunch– Whole wheat pasta with shredded pork, fresh cantaloupe/strawberries, and fresh snap peas/pepper/cucumber.
