Happy Friday!
After reading, ‘Slowly, Slowly, Slowly, Said the Sloth’ in K group, we talked about the five vowels at a very fundamental level. There were five words that were on the chalkboard and we worked together to see if we could fill in each missing space with the appropriate vowel. We talked about the sounds that each vowel makes before heading to the journal table to wrap up our week!
K.RF.4.3: Recognize the long and short sounds for the five major vowels.
In PREK2, children used fruit manipulatives to introduce the concept of subtraction. Each child got a turn to roll the dice and whatever number the dice ended on, that’s what they took away from the group of fruit.
Friends were thrilled to come to the art table and help clean toys using shaving cream! Almost everyone joined in at some point throughout the morning. It was an all-around enticing sensory experience!
We soaked up the last of the 60’s for the year (most likely!). Several children asked for the bikes out right away—our gross motor gears were grinding!
Breakfast– Brown rice cakes with peanut butter and fresh apples.
Lunch– Ham on whole wheat tortilla, fresh oranges/banana, and fresh broccoli/pepper.
PM snack– Pretzels and string cheese.
Wee Sprout– Fresh pepper/broccoli.
Have a lovely weekend!
