Welcome back! We kicked off 2026 by having a jam packed morning full of exploration and outside time. Our PREK1 kids came to the sign in board where we went over rules that we follow inside to keep ourselves and our peers safe. An important word was missing in each sentence so children worked to fill in their sentence with the correct missing word.
Social Studies: K.2.3 Give examples of classroom and school rules and explain how each helps us.
Today we explored a “sensory cereal” activity that helped teach how to serve one’s self at the table. We pretended we had a very colorful cereal (puff balls) with milk (white paint tinted water) and we were serving ourselves breakfast. We practiced using the spoon to fill our bowl and then carefully pouring ourselves milk on our cereal and a cup of milk just like we would at breakfast time. As imaginative play progressed around this activity, one of our kids wondered if there was a way to get the pompoms out of the milk more effectively. We decided to try a few options like funnels and several kinds of strainers. As we tested different options, we decided what what we thought worked best… so our fine motor imaginative play evolved into some create problem solving.
Please enjoy a few more pictures from our day!
