Good afternoon!
PREK1 kiddos came to the sign in board where we focused on expanding our ‘community helper’ understanding! Each child got to pick a green card from the bottom of the board that had a community helper written on it. I read a few different descriptions and they had to choose which description matched their helper. They taped it next to the match and then wrote their name!
Social Studies: K.2.1 Give examples of people who are community helpers (inside the classroom and outside the classroom) and describe how they each help us.
Today we worked on self portraits in the art center. Everyone who chose to work on a self portrait this morning started by studying their face in the mirror. They looked at the shape of their face, the color of their skin, the color of their eyes and the color of their hair. They picked out marker colors for their eyes and skin, then a yarn color for their hair. We sometimes had to hold up several colors of yarn as they scrutinized in the mirror about which was the closest to their own. The most shocking realization for the kids as they looked closer, was that lips are not actually fire engine red! It was everyone’s first assumption until they looked closer:)
PREK2: In group today we read the story “Know and Follow Rules”. We talked about how rules can keep us safe. After the story we remembered what rules we knew at school that helped to keep everyone safe and we talked about how the rules did this.
Breakfast: Oatmeal with cinnamon and fresh nectarines
Lunch: Farm fresh scrambled egg roll ups with cheese and whole wheat tortillas, fresh watermelon, and fresh peppers/cucumbers.
PM Snack: Hummus with blue corn tortilla chips.
Wee Sprouts: Fresh green peppers with cucumbers.
Enjoy the rest of your day!
