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.

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.

Good Afternoon!
We kicked off our week by diving into a few of our FAB’s for the week. For our PREK1 sign in, children came up the board where we started working with the phrases ‘greater than’ and ‘less than’. We’ll start implementing those phrases into our understanding of mathematical equations and what each means. Children looked at two different groups, used their one to one correspondence skills to count each group, and then figure out which group was greater than the other group.
Later on in PREK1 group, we talked about the important things a book needs to make it complete! We explored the words character, setting, and event and how each of these add to stories. We read our story, wrote it on our chart, and worked at identifying the characters, setting, and events in our story! When we started talking about events, we began to look at it in three sections: beginning of the story, middle of the story, and end of the story. Throughout the week, we’ll continue to add each book we read to our chart.
K.NS.7: Identify whether the number of objects in one group is greater than, less than, or equal to the number of objects in another group.
K.RL.2.3: Identify important elements of the text (e.g. characters, setting, or events).
This morning, we offered a sorting/counting activity at the round table. Kids found different ways to sort objects on each tray. Since every tray was different, kids enjoyed “trading” trays to try all of them. Older friends counted how many objects they sorted into each group, then looked for the corresponding number. One friend was able to count 19 and select the 1 and 9 to represent what he had counted.
It was a diverse day in the art center as each child had a unique idea for an individual project. Kids asked for materials and helped brainstorming solutions for what they wanted to make. We had some paper animals, a hair bow, a butterfly with antenna and a “one to one ratio taping activity” all happening at the same time. Everyone was able to work on projects tailored to their own individual needs, ideas and skills.
Breakfast– Whole wheat toast with peanut butter and fresh apples.
Lunch– Whole wheat pasta with marinara sauce, fresh strawberries/pineapple, and fresh green beans/pepper/cherry tomatoes.
PM snack– Whole milk yogurt with graham crackers.
Wee Sprout– Fresh green beans/pepper.
Have a lovely night.

Happy Friday and first day of Spring!
This morning, a few friends stacked bounce blocks along the habitrail railing. They moved their stacks to be next to each other and climbed to the top!
Then, we built with Waffle blocks, working on connecting them together Diana and Rose joined us, exploring all the pieces.
In the kitchen, we drew with markers. Friends swapped colors with each other before filling their papers with lines and dots.
Outside, we went down slides, stomped in the sand and pulled bins around the yard. Baby Rose and Diana also joined us, sitting on their blanket and playing with their baby toys.
Breakfast: Whole grain brown rice cakes with peanut butter and fresh pear slices.
Lunch: Chicken avocado salad, whole grain wheat bred, fresh cantaloupe slices and cooked green beans.
