We kicked off our week with our PREK1 kids coming to the sign in board where we looked at a map of the United States! We identified a specific symbol that identifies mountains. We found a few mountain symbols on the west coast. Throughout the week, we’ll continue talking about maps and possibly creating some of our own!

Social Studies: Create maps 2 dimensionally and 3 dimensionally.

Today we offered a play based learning activity using kinetic sand to build land formations.  We built mountains, islands and rivers.  We used popsicle sticks to make bridges over the “water” for out vehicles.  We added wooden trees to our landscapes along with construction vehicles.  One friends pretended to plant trees with his back hoe.  He dug holes for the trees, then asked another friends to be the “dump truck” and carry the sand away.

At the light table friends practiced kid spelling or making their name using the letters.  A few created a sorting activity, sorting the letters by color.  Through play, our kids explored both language and early math.

Breakfast– Whole wheat english muffins with butter and fresh watermelon.

Lunch– Whole wheat pasta with marinara sauce and shredded cheese, fresh apples/oranges/pineapple, and fresh cucumber/pepper.

PM snack– Whole milk yogurt with graham crackers.

Wee Sprout– Fresh cucumber/pepper.

Have a lovely night!
