Good Afternoon!

Arthur and Ryan were talking about how to use tape in the art center this morning.  I told them about a way to make a painting using tape and they were immediately interested in learning how to do this!. They enjoyed putting large pieces of tape all over their paper.  Both wanted to use  yellow, orange and white to paint with.  Once they were done we pulled up the tape to reveal the image it had created.  Both boys found this delightful!  They were not the only ones.  Several others were interested in trying this, so I imagine there will be more tape paintings to come!

We explored a natural loose parts activity made up of acorns, sticks, seed pods and pinecones inviting Wee Friends to count, sort, identify or imagine

Lunch– Brown rice with shredded turkey, fresh cantaloupe/pears/banana, and fresh carrots/peppers/cucumber.

Good Afternoon!

PREK1 friends came to sign in this morning. We used the book, ‘The Sandwich Swap’ to answer a question about the setting of the story. Once friends were able to recall what the setting of the story was, they wrote their name under the setting.

Later, we read the story during group. After we read the story, we talked about the two main characters in the story. Children took turns saying aloud the specific events that occurred in the story—in order!

K.RL.2.3: Identify important elements of the text (e.g. characters, setting, or events).

This morning Hannah shared her families tradition of celebrating Chinese New Year with the class.  Hannah’s Mom read “Ruby’s Chinese New Year” to the class, which taught about how Chinese New year is traditionally celebrated.  Afterward Hannah’s family did a Chinese Lantern making craft with the kids and shared a traditional snack.  Thank you so much for sharing!

Since working of our Valentine bags and valentines for classmates at home, a lot of the class has been thinking about Valentines Day.  We set up a welcome activity to encourage imaginative play around the interest.  Some friends set up a little Valentines Coffee shop with heart shaped cakes and candies to eat.

Breakfast: Cheerios with fresh apples.

Lunch: Peanut butter on whole wheat flatbread, fresh apples/banana, and fresh cucumber/tomatoes.

PM Snack: Whole wheat cinnamon raisin bagels with cream cheese.

Wee Sprouts: Fresh peppers and cucumbers

Enjoy the rest of your day!
