Good Afternoon!

We specifically talked about days of the week in PREK1 sign in today. Children signed under their favorite day of the week and shared why it’s their favorite. One of our oldest friends couldn’t decide! “My favorite days are Monday, Friday, and Saturday. Monday because it’s pasta day. Friday because I get sprinkle cookies. And Saturday because it’s gymnastics!”.

Social Studies: K.1.5 Explain that calendars are used to represent days of the week and months of the year.

This morning we engaged in some imaginative cooperative play at the round table welcome activity.  We used felt pieces to make ponds and rivers for our frogs.  Many friends chose to connect all of their ponds with felt bridges so their frogs could travel around the whole table.  There were many instances where younger kids spent time observing how older kids were engaging in complex cooperative games before engaging themselves.  Multiage environments are a wonderful place to learn the give and take of cooperative play!

In the art center several kids took advantage of some colorful new art paper.  They were inspired to make a variety of animals including dogs and butterflies.  The friends enjoyed playing with their butterflies together after they were finished.  The dropped the butterflies so they could flutter down to the ground like real butterflies.

PREK2:  During group we talked about days of the week based on what we eat for lunch that day.  We made a class list of our favorite “lunch day” of the week.  Some kids felt so passionately about their lunch that they struggled to chose just one favorite. The majority picked Monday as their favorite day based on their love of our pasta!

Lunch– Farm fresh scrambled eggs with whole wheat bread, fresh grapes, and fresh cucumber/green beans/pepper.
