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!

Good Afternoon!

PREK1 group came to sign in this morning. They chose a card from the bottom of the easel and we read it together. After reading the word on their card, they had to determine if it fit in the ‘day of the week’ group or ‘month’ group. Children taped their word to the correct group and wrote their name. A few friends even chose the card that had their birthday month! A friend shared, “Saturday is a day of the week and it’s on the weekend!”.

Later on in group, we hit our final text genre group: fairytale! We read, ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs’. We especially enjoyed learning the names of the dwarfs! After we were done, children were quick to share why it’s a fairytale story as well as a fiction story instead of a nonfiction story.

K.RL.3.1: Recognize familiar narrative text genres (e.g. fiction, nonfiction, fairytales, poems).

K.DA.1: Identify, sort, and classify objects by size, number, and other attributes. Identify objects that do not belong to a particular group and explain the reasoning used.

We set up a new sensory table as a wet marble run.  We used water beads as the marbles and experimented with a variety of tools that could be used to move water through the wheels and runs in different ways.  A popular activity was to work together to collect all of the water beads in the jug, then dump the whole thing into the funned area.  This created an interesting water bead vortex as the water and beads spun around the funnel.

Our welcome activity was an open ended sorting table today.  We set up a variety of trays and a collection of objects in the middle.  This set-up encouraged a variety of ways to sort and categorize.  There was plenty of room for creative thinking and imaginative play as well.

We had a wonderful time outdoors today enjoying the fresh air!  We spent lots of time biking, playing ball and digging in the sand!  What great February break in the weather!

Breakfast– Puffins cereal with banana.

Lunch– Brown rice with shredded turkey, fresh cantaloupe/oranges, and fresh pepper/cucumber.

PM snack– Trail mix featuring granola, peanuts, raisins, and sunflower seeds.

Wee Sprout– Fresh tomatoes/cucumber/pepper.

Have a lovely night!
