Good Afternoon!

We’ve been talking about rhyming words this week in our PREK1 group. Children worked to find the rhyming word for DOG: either FOG or CAT.

K.RF.3.1: Identify and produce rhyming words.

This is a group of kids that loves mixing up experiments.  We created an experimental mixing tray for them this morning.  We set out little cups of water, shaving cream, chia seeds, paint and corn starch.  The kids could use a spoon to try different combinations of the ingredients with open exploration.  The kids had the idea to trade spoonful’s of their own color for spoonful’s of someone else’s.  We got to practice some etiquette as we remembered to ask, then wait for an answer as well as the give and take of trade. 

We had a child lead project begin in the art center today.  One of our friends wanted to make an airplane out of paper.  Folding the paper was a little complicated, so she was willing to try using pieces of paper and straws, then putting them together to make an an airplane.

Other friends continued exploring shapes in other parts of the classroom.  Arthur made a castle using triangles made into squares as well as triangles made into larger triangles!

Breakfast– Kix and fresh pineapple.

Lunch– Peanut butter on whole wheat bread, fresh strawberries/cantaloupe, and fresh cucumber/snap peas/pepper.

PM snack– Whole wheat bagel with butter and cinnamon.

Wee Sprout– Fresh cucumber/snap peas/pepper.

Have a lovely night!
