Good afternoon!
Our friends explored the peg stackers and beads this morning. They worked on choosing different shape beads from the basket and then placing it on a peg. Some friends chose to sort the different shapes and separated them on their pegs.
We built with waffle blocks, looked at the fish swim in the fish tank, or rocked on the rocking chair with a friend.
Our friends then moved to the Habi-trail area to climb in the plastic blocks with balls.
We then headed outside to engage in our favorite activities. We played with balls by placing them in buckets to walk around with or by tossing them to play catch with another friend. A friend played in the housekeeping area, using a spoon to “cook.” Another warm day meant more water play; our friends enjoyed exploring the different water play stations.
Breakfast: Whole grain Kix cereal and bananas.
Lunch: Whole grain brown rice with shredded turkey, fresh watermelon slices and yellow bell pepper.
Afternoon Snack: Sunflower seeds with Triscuits crackers.
Wee Sprout: Cucumber.
Have a wonderful evening!

Good Afternoon!
Our soon to be five graduating preschoolers worked on their graduation banner this morning! Each child got a space to draw what they wished—a few peers worked together and eventually, started drawing their pictures together. We can’t wait to display it for our graduation ceremony later this week!
We dove into waterplay outside this morning. We spent much of the morning in the beautiful weather, exploring all the ways we could interact with water. We collected and sorted shells while engaged in cooperative group play at the largest tray. At another we investigated water movement and volume. We also enjoyed choosing a personal water try with a variety of loose part components. Water play has a wide variety of developmental benefits for young children including scientific exploration, creativity, social emotional learning and emotional regulation.

Our friends started their morning by engaging with the Latches puzzle board. They are occasionally curious about the locks we have around our classroom, so Miss Bekah brought out this puzzle for our friends to work on. It gives them the opportunity to freely explore 6 different latches and to practice their problem-solving skills.
Miss Bekah brought down the magnetic Mix-and-Match animal pieces for us to create with. We worked on matching pieces to make dinosaurs, farm animals and safari animals. Some friends used their creativity to build new creatures, saying “it looks so silly.”
We then headed outside for another day of beautiful weather. Some of our friends explored a mud tray with sticks and construction vehicles. Two other friends opted to play in the sandbox instead and use tools or their hands to engage with it.
Breakfast: Whole grain Cheerios and fresh strawberries.
Lunch: Whole grain wheat flatbread with refried beans and shredded mozzarella cheese, banana and cooked broccoli.
Afternoon Snack: Whole grain wheat bagel with peanut butter and fresh watermelon slices.
Wee Sprout: Cucumber.

Good Afternoon!
We used a map of the world for our PREK1 sign in this morning! We identified the compass on the map and talked about the four main directions. Children were able to state that ‘N’ stood for North! We talked about the three other directions as well.
A few friends have been travelling recently or are planning to travel this summer so we looked up the destinations on the map and figured out what direction the city or state was from us. Places we looked up were Washington, D.C., Virginia, Singapore, and Vietnam!
Social Studies: Create maps 2 dimensionally and 3 dimensionally.
This morning one of our friends said “I really liked that sand building activity with the trucks yesterday…can we do that again?”. There was a lot of communicative hand gesturing so I knew it was important. Of course, since we use emergent curriculum, we were happy to set up an activity for further exploration. I couldn’t help but expand on it though. Instead of kinetic sand, we used real sand. We made read lakes and a river flowing through the middle. We added long sticks and flat rocks which the kids used to build bridges, roads and houses. Friends were engrossed in imaginative play, sensory and creative problem solving all morning…
…so much so that we moved the activity outdoors!
We hope you enjoy some more pictures from out day!
PREK2: During group we read “The Mud Puddle”. Most of us could confidently say this book was “fiction” because a mud puddle could not “run, walk or jump”. After the story, we thought about how we could describe what the mud felt like on our hands while we explored the activity this morning. We made a class list of what we thought.
Breakfast– Puffins cereal with banana.
Lunch– Sliced chicken breast and cheese on whole wheat bread, fresh watermelon/strawberries, and fresh pepper/snap peas/cucumber.
PM snack– Whole wheat bagel with butter and cinnamon.
Wee Sprout– Fresh cucumber/pepper/snap peas.
Have a wonderful night!

This morning we engaged with dress up clothes and accessories. We worked on our self help skills putting the clothes on.
We then headed into the kitchen to engage in a loose parts activity with color beads, a pipe cleaner and pattern card. We worked on matching the color of our bead to the color on the pattern card. Some of us worked our fine motor skills to string the beads onto our pipe cleaners. Another friend was stacking their color beads by color.
We then headed outside to enjoy the beautiful day! We were busy playing with our toys on our blanket, exploring nature, riding bikes, climbing up the log house, pushing a cart, working on our balance skills on the balance beam, drawing with markers and walking around with our baby doll.
Breakfast: Whole grain wheat bread toasted with buttery spread and cinnamon/sugar mixture and fresh apples/oranges.
Lunch: Whole grain penne pasta with shredded turkey, fresh cucumber and pineapple slices.
Afternoon Snack: Whole milk yogurt and fresh strawberries.

We kicked off our week with our PREK1 kids coming to the sign in board where we looked at a map of the United States! We identified a specific symbol that identifies mountains. We found a few mountain symbols on the west coast. Throughout the week, we’ll continue talking about maps and possibly creating some of our own!
Social Studies: Create maps 2 dimensionally and 3 dimensionally.
Today we offered a play based learning activity using kinetic sand to build land formations. We built mountains, islands and rivers. We used popsicle sticks to make bridges over the “water” for out vehicles. We added wooden trees to our landscapes along with construction vehicles. One friends pretended to plant trees with his back hoe. He dug holes for the trees, then asked another friends to be the “dump truck” and carry the sand away.
At the light table friends practiced kid spelling or making their name using the letters. A few created a sorting activity, sorting the letters by color. Through play, our kids explored both language and early math.
Breakfast– Whole wheat english muffins with butter and fresh watermelon.
Lunch– Whole wheat pasta with marinara sauce and shredded cheese, fresh apples/oranges/pineapple, and fresh cucumber/pepper.
PM snack– Whole milk yogurt with graham crackers.
Wee Sprout– Fresh cucumber/pepper.
Have a lovely night!
