Good afternoon!

In the art center we created snow paintings using round sponges to add to our classroom.  Our kids are creative, so their snow pictures varied.  Some wanted to make snowflakes, others used the sponge to draw the snow blowing in the wind while others made snowmen, mountains and snow covered “boulders”.  Open ended art projects with only a loose idea about how to start, allows for free thinking and creativity! When kids make artwork authentically, using their own ideas and their own exploration, deep learning can happen!  Also, if kids want to make more than one piece of artwork, we encourage that.  Usually the second and third images are the ones where kids have gotten a feel for materials and are able to formulate creative exploratory ideas.  When kids make one image and are told to stop, they often skip the part where the magic happens!

PREK2:  Today we read “Bears on Chairs”.  We talked about how the bears in the story showed kindness by sharing their chairs so everyone would be included.  After the story, we picked a card from the basket.  Each card had one kind thing we could do in our classroom written on it.  Our teacher read our card and then we talked about why it was kind. 

Please enjoy a few more pictures from our day!

Lunch: Cheesy quesadillas on whole wheat tortilla, smashed avocado, fresh mango/pears/pineapple and fresh peppers/cucumbers.

We then headed outside to ride on the teeter totters with a friend and toss the balls and watch how far they go.

Happy Monday!

We kicked off our short week as we started talking about how we can be helpful and responsible in a group setting, like our family or at Wee Friends! Our PREK1 friends came to the sign in board where they chose to sign in under a helpful chore they do at home! Friends were eager to share what they help with at home.

Social Studies: K.2.4 Give examples of how to be a responsible family member and member of a group.

This morning, friends explored ways to use three dimensional shapes in kinetic sand.  We talked about the names of shapes they were making using a variety of containers.  We found we could make a cube, a cylinder, and a dome.  We also found if we put two domes together, we had a sphere!   

Breakfast: Whole wheat toast with peanut butter and fresh pears.

Lunch: Whole wheat pasta with beef,  fresh watermelon/banana, and fresh cucumbers/peppers.

PM Snack: Whole milk yogurt with fresh strawberries.

Happy Friday!

We ended our week with our PREK1 sign in by looking at a pie to help us solve a subtraction equation. Children identified the pieces of the pie that had been eaten as well as the leftover pieces. Once they solved the problem, children identified the number 7 from the options available.

K.CA.1-2: Solve real-world problems, objects, or drawings that involve addition and subtraction within 10. Demonstrate the equation (e.g 5=3+2 and 5=4+1).

This morning we offered a loose parts peg board activity for all those kids interested in tools, hardware and fitting things together.  Kids chose from the options that best fit them developmentally.  Younger kids added golf tees to the peg board, while older kids figured out how to push a bolt from the bottom to attach a door knob to the board.  Some friends got imaginative using magnets to make screwdrivers, drills and even a telescope!  This activity is designed to practiced fine motor skills and creative problem solving using an interest that kids in this classroom have expressed.

Please enjoy a few more pictures from our day!

Breakfast: Brown rice cakes with cream cheese and fresh red pears.

Lunch: Ham on whole wheat tortilla, fresh apples/bananas/kiwi, and fresh cucumbers/peppers.

PM Snack: Pretzels and sliced cheddar cheese.

Wee Sprouts: Fresh cucumbers/peppers.

Have a great weekend!

Good Afternoon!

PREK1 friends came to the sign in board throughout the day where we worked with addition and subtraction equations. Children had to find the index card with their name on it and identify their equation. We worked with manipulatives to solve the equation. They located the total on the board and taped their equation under the correct total.

K.CA.1-2: Solve real-world problems, objects, or drawings that involve addition and subtraction within 10. Demonstrate the equation (e.g 5=3+2 and 5=4+1).

This morning we enjoyed a sand/loose parts welcome activity to get our imaginations flowing.  Kids chose from stones, leaves and a wide variety of wooden pieces to figure out what to build.  Several kids built “hide-outs” for animals.  They did a great job sharing information with one another about how best to build with the pieces in the sand!

At the art center we offered a snow painting project as several friends have been thinking about winter activities and holidays.

Please enjoy a few more pictures from our day!

Breakfast– Puffins cereal with fresh watermelon.

Lunch– Brown rice with shredded turkey, fresh watermelon/cantaloupe/pineapple, and fresh snap peas/broccoli/pepper.

Then, we went into the kitchen and engaged in loose parts-wooden shapes and animals on wooden trays. Some friends built towers and others investigated the various farm animals and we talked about the different sounds each animal made on their tray,

Outside, we played with vehicles on the car ramps, rode on the teeter totter with a friend and went down the slide.
