Good Afternoon!
A big happy birthday to Hannah who turned four today! Ryan was kind enough to make her her own special birthday hat (peep him in the background looking so proud!) 
. We loved celebrating with you!
PREK1 friends came to the sign in board where they turned a singular noun into its plural form! Each child chose a card from the bottom of the word. We read the word together and then worked to turn the word into a plural noun!
K.W.6.1a: Nouns/Pronouns—Writing sentences that include singular and/or plural nouns (e.g. dog/dogs, cat/cats).
This morning our welcome activity invited kids to sort in groups of tens in an interesting and stimulating way. Some sorted colored puff balls into test tubes which lead to imaginative play around the ideas of potions and experiments. Others sorted buttons by color and shape. Another tray offered color sorting by tens with colored trays and bears. Friends could choose a variety of fine motor tools to help them sort or pair up with a partner allowing for growth in cooperation and teamwork.
Friends got creative with cardboard in the art center making hats, picture frames and even a van with little cut out people, seatbelts and bags filled with tiny cut out accessories, all hand made… Wow! Friends also worked at the easel creating sponge dot paintings in all sorts of unique ways!
Arthur said this morning, “I want to do a project.”. I replied, “Do you have an idea for a project?”. He responded “Yes, I want to do something with water and building things and trucks”. We came up with this sensory bin in response. Friends built roads and bridges across the water or used the stones to create lagunes and islands. This is a strong example of child lead learning.
