Good Afternoon!

This morning we engaged in a variety of activities.  Several of us built with Magna-Tiles with Miss Bekah, built with Duplos on the shelf, interacted with baby Diana, built with Interstar Connectors while sitting on Miss Bekah’s lap and making music on the pianos.

• 

We then headed into the kitchen to build with pegs in our peg boards.  The friends worked at filling all the holes in their peg boards and making peg towers.

We then headed outside.  We were busy going down the slides, riding the teeter totters with a friend and pushing and riding bikes up and down the hill and working on our balance skills on the balance bikes.

Lunch:  Whole grain wheat penne pasta with marinara sauce and shredded mild cheddar cheese, fresh oranges and organic sugar snap peas.

Good Afternoon!

We kicked off our week by starting to talk about patterns! All of our PREK1 friends came up to the board where they identified the pattern of square, circle, square, circle, square, _______. Children wrote their name under what shape came next.

K.CA.5: Create, extend, and give an appropriate rule for simple repeating and growing patterns with numbers and shapes.

The welcome tuff tray activity allowed friends to use their imagination as they were able to build with a large collection of wooden blocks. Small animal figurines were also made available in the tuff tray.

Arthur made a wooden block castle as he continued adding new blocks to it. It was wonderful to see Arthur put his plan into action!

Please enjoy a few more pictures from our day!

Happy Friday!

This morning a friend noticed a seed pod hanging from a plant and asked if it was a tomato.  It was round like a tomato but was dry and small.  We opened it and found it was full of seeds.  We talked about how the flower on this plant had become a seed pod after it was pollinated.  After that, several kids searched for different types of seed pods around the outdoor area.  We found there were Rose of Sharon seed pods, money plant seed pods and milkweed pods.  We brought our seeds to the deck to spend time opening the pods and collecting seeds.  We talked about how they were the same, how they were different and what kinds of plants they could grow into.  It was a wonderful child lead science project!

Please enjoy a few more pictures from our day!

Good Afternoon!

We took a trip to the farm today where we used the word ‘quality’ when doing a chore in the barn. Farmer Charlotte had asked us to clean the barn floor that was covered with loose hay. We were tasked with sweeping the hay into the stall for the horses to eat! Farmer Charlotte had been talking about ‘quality help’ just as we walked into the barn so we talked about doing “quality work” and what that meant. As Hannah swept, she said, “I’m so excited to share with Farmer Charlotte all of the work that we did!”. We were able to see brand new baby mice that were less than 24 hours old! It was the perfect mix of productivity and relaxation.

Here’s a few more pictures from the rest of our day!

Breakfast: Corn Chex with fresh watermelon.

Lunch: Brown rice with pork, fresh pineapple/bananas, and fresh peppers/peapods.

Good Afternoon!

We kicked off our Tuesday by talking about height during our PREK1 sign in! Each friend was asked to venture throughout the classroom, finding a peer who was shorter than they are. Then, we worked at writing their name. Most friends wrote their name with minimal help! Children acknowledged that they were writing “new to them” letters. For example, one peer shared, “I don’t write K’s that much!”—so we worked together to identify the specifics of the letter K before writing it!

Later on in group, we read, ‘Hey Little Ant’ which is a book from our MACK collection. It dives into the notion of looking at a situation from someone else’s point of view. There are two main characters in the story: an ant and a boy. Throughout the story, the ant gives the boy several reasons as to why he doesn’t want to be stepped on. We talked about height and the severe difference between the two characters.

K.M.1: Make direct comparisons of the length, capacity, weight, and temperature of objects, and recognize which object is shorter, longer, taller, lighter, heavier, warmer, cooler, or holds more.

Today, we enjoyed a special activity making applesauce.  Everyone was offered a chance to help cut up one apple.  We each learned how to use our plastic “safety knife” to cut the apple slices into cubes.  We filled a pot with the apples all of our wee friends helped to cut up and we can’t wait to try it for snack! Yum!

At the round table, we offered an imaginative play area for friends to continue to process what they learned while making the applesauce.  Play is an excellent way for kids to continue learning about something they have been exposed to. 

Breakfast- Kix cereal with banana.

Lunch- Peanut butter on whole wheat flatbread, cheddar block cheese, fresh oranges/cantaloupe, and fresh cucumber/snap peas/green beans.

PM Snack- Homemade applesauce and whole wheat bagel with cream cheese.

Wee Sprout- Fresh snap peas/green beans/cucumber.

Have a great afternoon!
