Good Afternoon!
Reminder: Wee Friends will be closed next Friday, April 18th for Good Friday. Thanks!
PREK1 kiddos came to the sign in board where they were asked to find their name on a long sentence strip. Once they found their name, we read their animal prompt and wrote down an animal that fit! It was a great opportunity to practice our kid spelling.
Later on in PREK1 group, we read ‘What Do You Do With A Tail Like This?’. We learned about all different kinds of animals and how they use their body parts. For example, did you know that bats ‘see’ with their ears? Or that chameleons can look two ways at once with their eyes? We loved learning new and interesting facts about animals!
Science: K.4.1 Give examples of plants and animals.
Friends worked together to explore marble runs this morning. Several kids formed groups that worked together to build runs. We saw a lot of excellent cooperation, sharing of ideas, taking turns and a simple relaxed joy in collaborating with peers. These skills are rare to see among children this young!
Arthur made a marble run that had a slide piece at the bottom. He was frustrated that his marbles were rolling away. We talked about what he could do to solve the problem. He decided to try to catch the marbles in the marble bowl. It proved difficult because the bowl was small and the marbles bounced out. Instead of getting frustrated we tried other solutions. Arthur finally found a tray that worked and was delighted. We love teaching moments like these that encourage creative problem solving rather than giving up because of frustration. Arthur was rewarded with success!
PREK2: Today we read the story “When Sophie Gets Angry”. We talked at the end of the story about something that makes us happy. We talked about bringing this memory to mind to help us feel better when we are feeling upset.
Breakfast– Whole grain oatmeal with cinnamon and fresh strawberries.
Lunch– Farm fresh scrambled eggs with whole wheat tortilla, fresh grapes/pears/pineapple, and fresh cucumber/carrots.
PM snack-Air-popped corn with raisins

Have a great night!
