Good Afternoon!

We focused on rhyming words this morning for PREK1 sign in where they were each given one word and had to come up with a rhyming word. Kids wrote their word next to their word card. Later on in group, we read ‘There’s A Wocket In My Pocket’ and friends eagerly listened as we read funny rhyming words. We talked about other Dr. Seuss stories that we like that have rhyming word such as Hop On Pop and The Cat In The Hat.

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

We explored a shape stamping art activity this morning.  Kids used their shape stamps to create colorful compositions.  We talked about what shapes we were using as we worked.  Later in the activity one friend wondered if they could use markers to draw into the design.  I thought it was a creative idea that could be explored given the composition of the ink.  A couple of kids noticed and tried the idea themselves.  It made for some very interesting artwork.  When kids ask those kinds of “what would happen if…” questions and then get to explore the idea, they are developing higher thinking skills which we value!

PREK2: In group today we read “Breath Like a Lion”.  It talked about several different yoga poses which we tried out.  After group, we shared which was our favorite pose.

Breakfast: Puffins cereal with fresh apple slices.

Lunch: Turkey and cheese on whole wheat bread, fresh honeydew melon/bananas/clementines, and fresh green beans/cucumbers.

PM Snack: Whole wheat bagels with cream cheese.

Wee Sprouts: Fresh green beans/cucumbers.

Have a great afternoon!
