Good Afternoon!
This morning several friends requested teacher books. Miss Bekah grabbed a stack of our favorite stories to read to us.
Friends engaged their fine motor and hand-eye coordination skills to work on completing puzzles. Friends were using magnets to pull their magnet pieces out before using their hand to place it back into its place in the puzzle board. We also engaged in puzzles that worked on our matching skills where we had to match half of the animals body back together.
A friend came over yesterday after dropping off their siblings in the other classroom with a few new dinosaurs. So today Nesta asked to do that. She picked 3 dinosaurs we have had for a long time to take back and trade out for new ones. After doing that, she and another friend engaged in play together with them.
During outside time, the scooters were out for us to try for the first time. Miss Bekah gave us all a little instruction on how to use them so they would not tip on us. She then also showed us how we could also ride them laying on our tummies. We had a great time riding them around the circle.
We also engaged in climbing, playing with the baby dolls, watching the sand run through our fingers and riding on the teeter totter for the first time.
Look at those happy, smiling friends during their play.
Breakfast: Overnight oatmeal with cinnamon and fresh pears.
Lunch: Farm fresh scrambled eggs, whole grain wheat toast with butter, fresh pears/banana and mixed vegetables.
Afternoon Snack: Hummus on whole grain wheat flatbread.
Wee Sprouts: Cucumbers.
Have a wonderful evening!

Good Afternoon!
We are eight chapters into Charlotte’s Web so far in our K group. We’re continuing to learn more about each character and today, we added a few key details about Fern and Templeton. There’s a few storylines that we are very interested in! What’s going to happen to the bad egg that Templeton took? Will Mr. Zuckerman really kill Wilbur? Time will tell! We’re on the edge of our seats every group session to see what happens!
Our lemonade stand is still going strong. Not only are children using coins but dollar bills were introduced today!
The sensory bin has been a busy place with friends patiently waiting for a turn. The kinetic sand is one of our favorite sensory experiences.
We took some of our dinosaurs outside this morning and used them in the sand box. Children used paint brushes to brush away the sand off the dinosaur—we were fantastic paleontologists! We only lost one dinosaur in the sandbox! 
Paint dotters and a long piece of paper were made available at the outside art easel. Some children chose to make dots randomly around the canvas while others made intentional artwork whether it was their name or a rainbow!
Breakfast– Whole Grain Cheerios with fresh apples.
Lunch– Refried beans and melted shredded cheese on whole wheat tortilla, fresh pineapple, and fresh cucumber/carrot.
PM snack– Whole wheat bagel with peanut butter and cheddar block cheese.
Wee Sprout– Fresh carrots/cucumber.
Have a lovely evening!

Good Afternoon!
Children were anxious to explore the new sensory bin: kinetic sand!
Ice cream themed materials were placed within the bin and the kinetic sand was perfect as pretend ice cream. Friends served up one another and explored the properties of our newest sensory experience.
The chains were used in a different way today! The challenge was to get out of the chains when sitting in a chair!
It was the PERFECT morning. Sunshine and temperatures that didn’t make us sweat after five minutes of being outside. Friends explored the outdoor environment, using baby dolls and bikes in their play.

Good Afternoon!
We started adding to our character chart yesterday in K group and today, we added Charlotte and Templeton to our character list. We wrote beside the name the part in the story that the character plays. We were finally introduced to Charlotte today and it was quite the buildup for friends as we were reading!
There’s been several words that children have inquired about that they didn’t know the meaning for! We stop a few times each day as we’re reading to identify new words.
For kindergartener sign in, children have to write the setting of Charlotte’s Web so far. Most children wrote farm while a few others added Fern’s house that was at the beginning of the story.
The rest of our day was full of observing a few kindergarten children create books with detailed drawings and word to go along with their illustrations, extensive work on the building rug, and some fresh air earlier this morning.
Breakfast– Toasted oatmeal squares and banana.
Lunch– Brown rice with shredded turkey, fresh pineapple/pears, and fresh cucumber/pepper.
PM snack– Triscuits and pistachios.
Wee Sprout– Fresh cucumber/pepper.
