Good afternoon!

Today we worked on a group activity at the round table.  We used stencils or drew shapes on our paper covered table.  Then we used beads to create patterns, or follow the lines.  We worked on our counting skills as we went.  A few kids got creative drawing fruit, then used the beads to fill in the colors.  They made a blueberry, strawberry and an orange.

We are seeing such beautiful work from both of our journaling groups!  Kids are able to work at their own level, from recognizing their name, to kid spelling.  As we look at our multiage range, in their various stages of development,  its easy to see the tremendous growth in our kids over time.

Breakfast: Oatmeal squares cereal with fresh red pears

Lunch: Chicken on whole wheat bread with fresh pineapple/banana and fresh snap peas/peppers

PM Snack: Whole wheat raisin bagels with cream cheese

Wee Sprouts: Fresh green beans/peppers

Have a great afternoon!

Good afternoon!

This morning we engaged in a new sensory experience in the sensory table, moon sand.  We enjoyed scooping it up with a measuring cup or spoon and pouring it into a different container.  We also explored the different water/land animals  in the table.

Throughout the morning, we also played with Magna-Tiles.. Rowan and another friend also spent some time throwing and rolling balls!

We then headed outside to get some fresh air and play.  We were busy riding on the teeter totter with a friend, working on our balance skills while walking on the balance beams, digging in the sandbox, driving cars down the ramps and going down the slide.

Lunch: Refried beans and shredded mozzarella cheese, whole grain wheat tortillas, fresh pineapple and cooked broccoli.

Happy Monday!

This morning a couple of our friends asked if we would be using the Tuff tray today.  I asked if they had an idea for the Tuff tray which it turned out, they did.  They asked if we could put snow in it from outside and then add some construction vehicles so they could pretend to be moving snow.  I thought it was a great idea and followed the description they gave, setting it up how they imagined.  This project took every bit of snow we had accessible in the back yard, but it worked:)  It’s great for kids to drive project ideas like this.  They use their executive planning and creative problem solving skills to create something the whole class benefits from.  When kids are able to see their ideas take shape in a way, it builds their self esteem. 

Please enjoy a few more pictures from our day!

Good Afternoon!

We continued to discuss community helpers today in our PREK1 group. Group members came up to the board where they found their name and chose a card that had a community helper written on it. They came up with one tool that their community helper needs to do their job!

Social Studies: K.2.1 Give examples of people who are community helpers (inside the classroom and outside the classroom) and describe how they help us.

Today, we finally got to create our long awaited volcanic eruption!  Everyone was so excited to see what would happen.  We talked about each ingredient that would go into the volcano and how those things would create a chemical reaction when they were combined.  We added soap, water and baking soda which filled the volcano.  When we added the vinegar, we got the volcano to erupt with a pulse of foam which cascaded down the sides like a real volcano!  We got to try adding more baking soda so we could watch the change in the reaction.  It was exciting to see!  We even got to talk about how the foam covered the ground like real lava, which is how new rock is formed when it cools.

Please enjoy a few more pictures from our day!

Lunch: Brown rice with shredded pork, fresh watermelon/apples/honeydew melon, and fresh carrots/pea pods.

Good afternoon!

We have been practicing patience as our volcano creation dries.  We decided to work on a volcano drawing in the art area this morning.  We used oil pastels to draw the volcano.  Many kids chose to add lava flowing down the sides or magma pushing up from under the ground.  These things were illustrated in the book we read and we were excited to see how much of this information kids were able to retain!

Please enjoy a few more pictures from our day!
