Good afternoon!

Earlier in the week, we talked about the number of sides specific shapes have. Today, we focused on the number of vertices each shape has. Friends came up to the PREK1 sign in board where they chose a shape name, searched the board for that shape, and used a marker to circle all of the vertices of their shape.

K.G.2: Compare shapes using informal language to describe their similarities, differences, and parts (e.g. number of sides, length of sides, and vertices).

This morning one of our kids said he wanted to make a lighting storm in a jar.  He said he had seen this happen somewhere, though he couldn’t remember where.  I told him I knew how to make a rain storm in a jar.  He said he would like to do that…so we went with some child lead curriculum and set up the rain cloud experiment.  Kids picked a color for their precipitation.  We filled a jar with water and added a shaving cream cloud on top.  Kids used an eye dropper to fill their cloud.. The color eventually began to trickle down from the cloud as it would fall from a cloud into the sky.  Lots of kids tried this and enjoyed the experiment. 

We had a baking project going on in the kitchen as friends helped make oatmeal apple muffins to go with lunch.  Everyone really enjoyed the muffins and wished there were more!

We have been using a variety of objects to make shape paintings this week.  At the easel we tried using paper rolls to make circle paintings.  Several kids found they could make patterns.

Breakfast: Overnight oatmeal with fresh pineapple.

Lunch: Farm fresh scrambled eggs with home made apple oat muffins, fresh pears/clementines, and fresh peppers/cucumbers.

PM Snack: Air-popped corn with raisins.

Wee Sprouts: Fresh snap peas/peppers.

Have a wonderful day!
