Good Afternoon!

We kicked off our Tuesday by talking about height during our PREK1 sign in! Each friend was asked to venture throughout the classroom, finding a peer who was shorter than they are. Then, we worked at writing their name. Most friends wrote their name with minimal help! Children acknowledged that they were writing “new to them” letters. For example, one peer shared, “I don’t write K’s that much!”—so we worked together to identify the specifics of the letter K before writing it!

Later on in group, we read, ‘Hey Little Ant’ which is a book from our MACK collection. It dives into the notion of looking at a situation from someone else’s point of view. There are two main characters in the story: an ant and a boy. Throughout the story, the ant gives the boy several reasons as to why he doesn’t want to be stepped on. We talked about height and the severe difference between the two characters.

K.M.1: Make direct comparisons of the length, capacity, weight, and temperature of objects, and recognize which object is shorter, longer, taller, lighter, heavier, warmer, cooler, or holds more.

Today, we enjoyed a special activity making applesauce. Everyone was offered a chance to help cut up one apple. We each learned how to use our plastic “safety knife” to cut the apple slices into cubes. We filled a pot with the apples all of our wee friends helped to cut up and we can’t wait to try it for snack! Yum!

At the round table, we offered an imaginative play area for friends to continue to process what they learned while making the applesauce. Play is an excellent way for kids to continue learning about something they have been exposed to.
