Good Afternoon!

We played Community Helper Bingo in K/PREK1 group today after reading ‘A Child’s Calendar’. While any game like this brings out our competitive side, I witnessed children helping their peers find various spaces on their boards and cheering each other along.

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.

Yesterday, Miss Linsey started an art project where children got to experiment by making a secondary color by mixing two primary colors. This morning, a few friends continued this project as they didn’t do the project yesterday. The colors that they were able to make from simply mixing yellow, blue, and red together made them extremely happy and curious.

The rest of our morning consisted of children scattering into various areas of the environment.

Rowan worked on her balancing skills are she stacked rocks while Bo chose to do a shape activity. UNO has become a daily activity with our older friends and this morning, Daniel and Millie played a few rounds together.

We have been loving being able to go outside this week! While it was cloudy and a little windy, we enjoyed getting some fresh air.

Breakfast– Kix and fresh strawberries.

Lunch– Brown rice with shredded pork, fresh pineapple, and fresh snap peas/cucumber.

PM snack– Whole wheat crackers with peanuts.

Wee Sprout– Fresh snap peas.

Have a lovely night!

Good Afternoon!

Today was matching shirt day for Arthur and Ben.  Looks like they also had matching style of pants just different colors.

We started off the morning engaging with the bucket people, baby dolls, looking at books on the reading step, wearing dress up clothes and playing with food in the housekeeping area.

Dax and Hannah looked through the fish tank at each other and played peek-a boo.

After our Wee Sprouts, we all headed up to the front to build with Magna-Tiles.  We connected them to cover a small space of carpet, built cubes and added Little People to our building creations.  Dax looked through his Magna-Tile.

It was also warm enough for our little bodies to head outside to play this morning.  We loved riding our bikes down the hill,  playing in the play house, exploring leaves and grass and engaging with the trucks.

Breakfast: Overnight oatmeal with oranges.

Lunch:  Farm fresh scrambled eggs, whole grain wheat toast with butter, fresh cantaloupe and broccoli.

Afternoon Snack: Whole grain wheat Ritz crackers with hummus.

Good Afternoon!

We read, ‘I Want To Be A Firefighter’ in K/PREK1 group today! After learning about the in’s and out’s of being a firefighter, we created a web surrounding the topic of community helpers. Children worked together to make quite the extensive list of community helpers before we headed to the journal table.

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.

Our morning was full of various activities including playdough! A few friends were interested in making animal nests so a teacher helped with their vision by bringing various animals to the table from the science area. Once their nests were complete, they were able to use the animals to extend this activity.

Breakfast– Whole Grain Cheerios with fresh strawberries.

Lunch– Peanut butter on whole wheat bread, fresh apples, and fresh carrots.

PM snack– Whole wheat bagel with cream cheese and cheddar block cheese.

Wee Sprout– Fresh carrots.

Have a wonderful night.

Today we welcomed our new friend, Eleanor which is Arthur and Millie’s baby sister to our classroom.  We are so happy to have her join us.  Our friends have enjoyed interacting with her.

The friends were busy in the housekeeping area this morning, engaging with baby dolls, cooking delicious food to eat and creating dress-up outfits to wear.

We also loved looking out the window at the big dump truck and workers cleaning up a leaf pile.

It was a great morning getting reacquainted with peers and teachers alike after our winter break. The circle table was full of various manipulatives and an art activity was made available at the art table.

Children took glitter paint and created their own design before placing a blank piece of paper over their design to create a symmetrical copy!
