Happy Monday!

This morning we engaged in exploring the different sounds each of the items in each of the sound sensory tubes made as we moved the tube back and forth.

We then headed into the kitchen to engage in the light table with translucent beads and plastic eggs.  We used our plastic egg halves to scoop up the beads and pour them from one plastic egg half to the other.  We also used our hands to spread the beads around and them pick them up and watch as they ran through our hands. Miss Bekah also talked to us about the different colors we saw as the light shown through the beads.

We then headed outside to enjoy the nice weather, fresh air and our favorite activities.

Breakfast: Whole grain wheat bread toast with butter and cinnamon sugar mixture and fresh bananas.

Lunch: Whole grain wheat penne pasta with red beans, fresh pineapple and cooked green beans.

Afternoon Snack: Whole milk yogurt with fresh bananas.

Wee Sprout: Cucumbers.

Have a great evening!

Good Afternoon!

Our PREK1 kiddos came to the sign in board this morning where they solved a simple addition problem. After adding 7 and 3 together, they found the number 10 and wrote their name under it.

Later on in group, we continued to work on adding as we read, ‘How Do You Spend?’. Throughout the story, the main character spends money on needs or wants and we added up the numbers as we went. We talked about the meaning of the following words: want, need, cheap, and expensive.

K.CA.1-2: Solve real-world problems, objects, or drawings that involve addition and subtraction within 10. Demonstrate the equation (e.g. 5=3+2 or 5=4+1)

Children were engaged this morning at the circle table as they explored patterns using unifix cubes. Arthur and Hannah used the gray tray to create a complex color pattern that required a lot of attention to detail as they found out took a lot of concentration while younger friends used the activity to work on their one to one correspondence skills and counting as well as fine motor skills as they hooked the cubes together.

We were given gorgeous weather this morning so we headed out a little early and soaked up all of the time we had!

Breakfast– Whole wheat toast with peanut butter and fresh apple.

Lunch– Whole wheat pasta with shredded chicken, fresh pineapple/orange/apple, and fresh green beans/cucumber/pepper.

PM snack– Whole milk yogurt with granola.

Good Afternoon!

In PREK1 group today, we read ‘Sassafras’ which is a fiction story about a skunk named Sassafras. Throughout the story, Sassafras learned that his friends weren’t bothered by his smell as much as he thought. We wrote the title of the story as well as the characters, setting, and three events. Friends have loved working together this week filling in our chart!

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

We spent most of our morning outdoors, coming in only for lunch so we could enjoy as much of the warm spring weather as possible.  We offered Wee Sprouts along with several outdoor activities to enhance play.  Several kids worked on large group water color paintings at our outdoor easel.  They did a great job practicing their social emotional skills as they asked to trade and shared colors!

We offered imaginative play activities throughout the outdoor space.  Kids enjoyed finding ways to creatively use wood, sticks, rocks and bugs along with water trays.  They found they could use pieces of wood as boats for their bugs.  One friend decided to use the spiders to play “Anansi and the Magic Stick”.  In the story, Anansi’s magic stick creates a flood while he is sleeping, so the kids enjoyed playing out that narrative with their collected natural materials.  Using materials with no specific purpose pushes kids into high level cognitive, creative and executive function development as they find multiple solutions for every combination of items.   

Kids practiced their writing and spelling skills with side walk chalk as they prepared a game of “Stop, Go and Slow” for the balance bikes.

Breakfast: Puffins cereal with fresh apple slices.

Lunch: Brown rice with turkey, fresh watermelon/banana and fresh cucumbers/peppers.

PM Snack: Whole wheat crackers with peanut butter and sunflower/pepita seeds/raisins on top.

Wee Sprouts: Fresh cucumbers/peppers.

Have a wonderful night.

Good Afternoon!

We used the book, ‘Froggy’s Lemonade Stand’ for our PREK1 group sign in this morning. In the story, there’s two main settings and children wrote their name under the second setting which was the kitchen!

Later on in PREK1 group, we read the book! We filled in our chart with the characters, setting, and three events from the book.

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

We brainstormed some ideas for a round table activity.  The kids have been enjoying the process of brainstorming as a group and sharing ideas about projects.  This is great for their creative thinking and social emotional development as they learn to navigate group problem solving.  In time this will develop into a valuable life long skill.  The group came up with the idea to make train tracks and car tracks out of loose parts.  We found some materials they could use and they got to work!  The kids used cups, popsicle sticks and drawer dividers to construct a creative interconnected track and bridge system for their cars!

The art table was busy as usual with various interests being explored including playdough using the three primary colors, drawing with kid driven spelling, and gluing!

We were thankful to get some outside time today! Every spring, children reacclimate to being outside in our backyard space. Children have to navigate various spaces such as grass, rocks, steps, and concrete. We have to contemplate if something is safe or not such as climbing on logs or jumping off of rock boulders. We love offering these opportunities for children to really learn their body, how it moves, and understand what is safe verse what is not.

Breakfast– Overnight oatmeal with cinnamon and banana.

Lunch– Farm fresh scrambled eggs with whole wheat flatbread, fresh cantaloupe/banana, and fresh green beans/snap peas.

PM snack– Tortilla chips with hummus and

Wee Sprout– Fresh pepper/cucumber.

Have a lovely night!

Good Afternoon!

We continued to talk about the things that make a book, a book in PREK1 group! We used the book ‘Stellaluna’ which we read a few weeks ago in group so it was slightly in our memory! Children wrote their name under the main animal character in the story that offered Stellaluna a home after she was separated from her mother. Everyone was immediately able to recall that it was a group of three birds.

Later on in group, we read ‘Save It’ which focuses on money! We worked as a group to fill in our chart today, identifying the characters, setting, and three events that occurred in the beginning, middle, and end of the book.

This morning, we changed it up in the classroom, adding several new seasonal activities to explore. Working off ideas that the kids brainstormed this morning, we created a spring themed experience throughout the classroom fostering new types of imaginative play.

We hope you enjoy a few more pictures from our day!

PREK2: In group this morning, we read the story “The Sandwich Swap” after our lunch of cheese sandwiches.  We each decided what our favorite sandwich was at Wee Friends after group.  We found that the “majority” voted for peanut butter!

Breakfast: Kix cereal with fresh pears.

Lunch: Cheese quesadilla with smashed avocado, fresh pineapple/cantaloupe/clementines, and fresh cucumbers/peppers.

PM Snack: Homemade banana muffins and string cheese.

Wee Sprouts: Fresh cucumbers/peppers.

Enjoy the rest of the day!

In the kitchen, we engaged with loose parts. We put pom poms in bowls and lined up dominoes. Rose joined us with pom-poms in a whisk!

Outside, we engaged in various areas like the sandbox, climbing house and housekeeping, then a few friends drew with chalk on the chalkboard.
