Happy Monday!
We kicked off our week in PREK1 group by completing a sign in focused on counting items in a set. One child noted that the first group had eight stars because “four plus four equals eight.”. Others used their index fingers to count the stars in each group, displaying their one to one correspondence skills.
K.NS.6: Recognize set of 1 to 10 objects in patterned arrangements and tell how many without counting.
Tomorrow is voting day at Wee Friends. It’s a very important day where we’ll learn about the voting process. We’ll be voting on something very near and dear to our hearts: food (specifically lunch!).
A few of our older friends worked together to decorate our voting booth. They used the colors black, red, and blue and wrote things like “vote” and “USA” all over the booth. We can’t wait to see the results tomorrow!
This morning we offered a letter matching activity that could be explored in several ways depending on developmental level. Younger friends matched letters they found in the basket with the alphabet card on their tray. Older kids were able to pick out word cards and spell the words they saw on the cards. Some chose to find their first name letter or spell their entire names. Some chose to work alone and others chose to work with a partner. Everyone was able to use the materials to match their own developmental level.
In the art center several friends continued with building projects. Arthur and Ryan worked together to build a “table”.
PREK2: During group we read the story “I Like Myself”. After the story we each thought of something we were good at. Not surprisingly, Arthur said he was good at “building a table”.
Breakfast– Whole wheat toast with butter and fresh apples.
Lunch– Whole wheat pasta with shredded pork, fresh cantaloupe/pineapple, and fresh green pepper.
PM snack– Whole milk yogurt with a birthday treat: homemade blueberry muffins.
Wee Sprout– Fresh green peppers.
Have a lovely night.
