Good Afternoon!
In K/PREK1, we always journal after our group session. Not only are our drawings becoming more detailed but children’s development of letters and letter sounds is growing quickly! Children are connecting letters to the sounds they make as well as realizing their words and writing are powerful! Connecting words to drawings is quite wonderful and intrinsically motivates children. After they finish their description,, we read it back and the effort they put into their words is very gratifying!
As Franklin was writing his description, he noticed a pattern in his writing: N-I-N (in NINGA OR NINJA) and A-T-A (ATAK OR ATTACK) “are patterns, Miss Mindy!”. Not only is Franklin’s confidence in his kid spelling growing but today, he noticed patterns and properties of his writing that he hasn’t identified until now!
Numbers have been a very hot topic as of late where children inquire about different numbers as well as addition problems. Grady and Penny dove into addition problems that they themselves came up with. They wrote the problems out and then worked together to find the answer. This wasn’t teacher driven: this was completely driven by these two kindergarteners and by working together, they completed several problems. Who knew working with numbers could be so much fun? 
A friend had gotten out the rubber bands + boards and while children worked on placing rubber bands sporadically on the boards (as this is a challenging fine motor activity!), children took this opportunity to try and make letters! One friend created the letters that made up the word ‘EVIE’ while another friend created the first letter of his brothers name!
Our new puzzles continue to challenge us! The 60 piece puzzles take us just a bit longer than the 48 piece puzzles and require more patience and problem solving. These are unique puzzles because on the outside of the puzzle are different items (animals, etc.) that you find once the puzzle is complete!
A few parents have asked: the new puzzles, which are ‘Mudpuppy’, can be found on Amazon!
Breakfast– Whole grain Cheerios and fresh oranges/pineapple.
Lunch– Peanut butter on whole wheat bread/tortilla, block cheese, fresh oranges/banana, and fresh carrots.
PM snack– Whole wheat bagel with cream cheese and string cheese.
Wee Sprout– Fresh carrots.
Have a lovely evening!

Good Afternoon.
Today we painted with mittens to experience a different style of painting as well as going along with one of our favorite winter stories… The Mitten, by Jan Brett.
We enjoyed this style of painting and were full of smiles and giggles.
We then engaged in some gross motor activity, by hiding from the Big Hungry Bear under the habi-trail area. We crawled quickly under the structure and hid so that bear wouldn’t find us. What great imaginations our friends have!
Breakfast: Whole wheat toast with butter and cinnamon with banana.
Lunch: Whole wheat pasta with butter and shredded chicken, tomatoes and broccoli and clementine’s.

Good Afternoon!
Comprehension is one of the important aspects of literacy and today in K/PREK1, children demonstrated their comprehension level by sharing throughout the story what events come next. We read ‘The Hat’ which is a short story in the ‘Frog and Toad’ series. In ‘The Hat’, Frog had bought a hat for Toad but it was too big. Frog told Toad to think big thoughts and his head would get larger which would mean that the hat would fit!
Penny quickly said, “Frog is lying to Toad! He takes the hat home and puts water on it to make the hat smaller!”—this is exactly what happened!
It had been a while since we read this story but every child gave some sort of detail in the story before it happened!
In PREK2, children played bingo! Miss Kim rolled the die and children looked on their bingo board to see if they had that number.
Several children chose to come to the art table this morning where they used white string and beads to make necklaces! Once they decided they were done, their string was turned into a necklace.
Once Grady was done with his necklace, he took it one step further. He counted up his beads and divided it into two groups which prompted his question, “What’s 24 plus 39?”
He grabbed a piece of paper and with help from Miss Kim, he found the total of how many beads he had on his necklace!
The rest of our morning was a mixture of LEGO’s, different manipulatives, and lovely piano tunes from Daniel and Evie!
Breakfast– Quaker Oatmeal Squares and fresh pears.
Lunch– Brown rice with shredded beef, fresh pears/apples, and fresh cucumber/pepper.
PM snack– Whole wheat crackers and walnuts.
Wee Sprout– Fresh cucumber/pepper.
Have a fantastic evening.
