Good Afternoon!

We kicked off our week by working with shapes for our PREK1 sign in. Each kiddo came up to the board where we read the shape under their name. We read the shape name and found it on the board. They taped their name inside of the shape.

K.4.1: Identify and describe geometric objects: circle, triangle, square, rectangle, diamond, trapezoid, hexagon, octagon, parallelogram, sphere, and cube.

We explored two and three dimensional shapes and how they can fit together this morning.  At the round table, we chose from circles, triangles, rectangles and squares as well as the three dimensional versions…cylinders, pyramids, cubes and prisms.  As we created our buildings, we looked for each shape and talked about how they related.  For instance, one friend built a “tree house”.  We talked about seeing both circles and cylinders, squares and cubes, in the design. 

In the art center, friends created patterns and mosaics using a sand tray of circles/ovals or rectangles/squares.  We talked about the differences in what we could create with these two shapes.

In the kitchen, friends enjoyed baking with Ms. Ashley.  We helped measure flour, salt and baking powder to make some delicious banana muffins!

We hope you enjoy a few more pictures from our day!

Breakfast: Peanut butter on whole wheat toast with fresh pears.

Lunch: Whole wheat pasta with chicken/black beans, fresh red pears and fresh cucumbers/peppers.

PM Snack: Home made banana muffins and Charlottes birthday snack: fruit popsicles.

Wee Sprouts: Fresh cucumber/peppers.

Have a great afternoon!

Happy Snowy Friday!

This morning, we played with snow in Tuff Trays! Rose and Diana joined, getting snow and a sea creature of their own! We scooped into bowls, played with animals and explored some plastic letters as well.

Miss Audrey set up some tumble mats around the front, and we did lots of climbing! Two friends used one of the tumble mats to stack rings on.

Then, we explored sensory rain sticks. We took turns and traded rain sticks with each other. Some friends pointed and said what was in each rain stick.

Breakfast:  Whole grain brown rice cakes with peanut butter and fresh oranges.

Lunch:  Shredded mozzarella quesadillas, red beans, fresh yellow bell peppers and fresh cantaloupe.

Afternoon Snack:  Mozzarella cheese stick and bananas.

Wee Sprout: Mini Cucumbers

Have a great weekend!

Happy Friday!

We ended our week by working with one to one correspondence during our PREK1 group sign in activity. Each group member came to the board where they found their name and if they were able, identified the number. Next, they looked on a tray with several notecards with various number configurations on each card. They sorted through the cards to find the card that matched their number.

K.NS.5: Count up to 20 objects arranged in a line, a rectangular array, or a circle. Count up to 10 objects in a scattered configuration.

This morning, we offered an activity that encouraged counting and one to one correspondence, though it was open ended.  A few friends began creating their own “board games” with the pieces.  We explored this further with some non-specific game mats we had in the classroom to see what the kids would do.  They created several unique games, like one that involved hopping from square to square and then adding the number of objects on the square a player landed on.  We believe kids will remember numbers and counted objects better when they are allowed to get creative with the learning materials, keeping things interesting for them!

We hope you enjoy a few more pictures from our day!

PREK2:  During group we read the book “Ten Black Dots”.  After they story, we counted the dots next to our name.  If we wanted, we also added what we could make out of our dots.

Breakfast: Brown rice cakes with cream cheese and fresh blueberries.

Lunch: Peanut butter on whole wheat flat bread,  fresh bananas/cantaloupe/blueberries, and fresh snap peas/cumber.

PM Snack: Fresh cantaloupe with cheddar block cheese.

Wee Sprouts:Fresh peppers/snap peas.

Have a great weekend!

Happy Wednesday!

This morning, our friends dressed up and pretended to go to Trader Joe’s! They told Miss Bekah and Miss Audrey, “Bye.” One friend told Miss Audrey she was getting a spider from Trader Joe’s. Miss Bekah also found some play shopping baskets for them, and they spent the morning shopping the around the classroom.

 

Later, we brought down the swing! Each friend got a turn and enjoyed watching each other swing back and forth.

Breakfast:  Overnight oatmeal with cinnamon/sugar mixture and bananas.

Lunch: Farm fresh scrambled eggs with shredded mozzarella cheese, whole grain wheat  flatbread, fresh pineapple and cooked green beans.

Afternoon Snack: Refried beans with whole grain corn tortilla chips.

Wee Sprout: Sugar snap peas.

Have a wonderful evening!

Good Afternoon–

Our PREK1 group kiddos came to the sign in board one at a time where they worked with their name. Each friend counted the number of syllables in their name and wrote their name under the correct group. One friend said, “I already know the number of syllables in my name!” So, she tried to count the number of syllables in her middle and last name! She found out that all three names have two syllables in each!

K.RF.3.2: Orally segment words into syllables.

This morning, several kids were talking about swimming pools.  One of our older friends had the idea to make a swimming pool so we decided to do that in the Tuff Tray.  We talked about what we could use in imaginative play in order to create the things we wanted to be a part of the swimming pools.  Friends wanted to have a diving board and floaties in the pools.  One friend had the idea to add puff balls for floaties.  We added some rings we had for innertubes.  Another friends used a flat rock to make a diving board.  Kids had more ideas as we went.  We added boats and even a car wash to the swimming pool!  This is great exercise for the imagination and for a collaborative dialoged geared toward creative problem solving. 

Please enjoy a few more pictures from our day!

Breakfast: Overnight oatmeal with fresh pineapple.

Lunch: Farm fresh egg and cheese roll-ups on whole wheat tortilla, fresh pineapple/banana and fresh carrots/green beans.

Good afternoon!

Today we worked on a group activity at the round table.  We used stencils or drew shapes on our paper covered table.  Then we used beads to create patterns, or follow the lines.  We worked on our counting skills as we went.  A few kids got creative drawing fruit, then used the beads to fill in the colors.  They made a blueberry, strawberry and an orange.

We are seeing such beautiful work from both of our journaling groups!  Kids are able to work at their own level, from recognizing their name, to kid spelling.  As we look at our multiage range, in their various stages of development,  its easy to see the tremendous growth in our kids over time.

Breakfast: Oatmeal squares cereal with fresh red pears

Lunch: Chicken on whole wheat bread with fresh pineapple/banana and fresh snap peas/peppers

PM Snack: Whole wheat raisin bagels with cream cheese

Wee Sprouts: Fresh green beans/peppers

Have a great afternoon!

Good afternoon!

This morning we engaged in a new sensory experience in the sensory table, moon sand.  We enjoyed scooping it up with a measuring cup or spoon and pouring it into a different container.  We also explored the different water/land animals  in the table.

Throughout the morning, we also played with Magna-Tiles.. Rowan and another friend also spent some time throwing and rolling balls!

We then headed outside to get some fresh air and play.  We were busy riding on the teeter totter with a friend, working on our balance skills while walking on the balance beams, digging in the sandbox, driving cars down the ramps and going down the slide.

Breakfast: Whole grain Corn Chex with fresh mandarin oranges

Lunch: Refried beans and shredded mozzarella cheese, whole grain wheat tortillas, fresh pineapple and cooked broccoli.

Afternoon Snack: Whole grain wheat cinnamon raisin bagels with cream cheese and fresh bananas.

Wee Sprouts: Red bell peppers.

Have a great evening!

Happy Monday!

This morning we brought down the sheer curtain to run/walk through!  We had lots of laughs as we went through it to see our friends.

Then, Miss Audrey used hollow wooden blocks to make a track for cars to drive along. One friend played with a zebra while others drove their cars along. After her friends were done, Diana had a turn with the cars too!

Breakfast:  Whole grain wheat bread toast with butter and cinnamon/sugar mixture and fresh apples.

Lunch: Whole grain penne pasta with red beans, fresh bell peppers and pear slices.

Afternoon Snack: Whole milk yogurt with graham crackers.

Happy Monday!

This morning a couple of our friends asked if we would be using the Tuff tray today.  I asked if they had an idea for the Tuff tray which it turned out, they did.  They asked if we could put snow in it from outside and then add some construction vehicles so they could pretend to be moving snow.  I thought it was a great idea and followed the description they gave, setting it up how they imagined.  This project took every bit of snow we had accessible in the back yard, but it worked:)  It’s great for kids to drive project ideas like this.  They use their executive planning and creative problem solving skills to create something the whole class benefits from.  When kids are able to see their ideas take shape in a way, it builds their self esteem. 

Please enjoy a few more pictures from our day!

Breakfast: Peanut butter on whole wheat toast with fresh apple slices

Lunch: Whole wheat pasta with chicken and fresh blueberries/bananas and fresh peppers/green beans
