Happy Monday!
Food was the focus of the kindergarten sign in this morning. The three kindergarteners took food squares and sorted them into six categories: bread and grain, milk and dairy, meat and eggs, sweets, fruit, and vegetables. There were a couple that caused some apprehension but we eventually got them all sorted into the correct category!
K.DA.1: Identify, sort, and classify objects by size, number, and other attributes. Identify objects that do not belong to a particular group and explain the reasoning used.
One of our FAB’s for the week focuses on text genres and we dove right into it today! We talked about each of the four text genres before identifying the genre that fit the book we read today in K/PREK1 group. We read, ‘The Giving Tree’ by Shel Silverstein which is a favorite of ours! When we were done reading it, we talked as a group about what genre we thought the book would fit into. We finally decided on fiction because, “trees don’t talk!” and “trees can’t move their branches!”.
K.RL.3.1: Recognize familiar narrative text genres (e.g. fiction, nonfiction, fairytales, poems)
An art project was made available at the table this morning that involved glue and nature objects! Children used a small piece of paper and a combination of nature objects that they chose to make a nature material collage.
It was absolutely gorgeous this morning! Friends danced, balls were thrown, and bikes were ridden until the lunch bell went off. It was the perfect outside experience.
Breakfast– Whole wheat bagel with butter and fresh pears.
Lunch– Whole wheat pasta with marinara sauce and shredded cheese, fresh watermelon, and fresh carrots/cucumber.
PM snack– Whole milk yogurt with graham crackers.
Wee Sprout– Fresh cucumbers.
Have a great evening!
