Good Afternoon!  What a rainy day it has been.  We listened to the song, Rain, Rain Go Away, but unfortunately the rain didn’t go away for us.

We engaged with several of our musical instruments this morning.  We created our own music with the xylophones and pianos and then shook our bells to the song Jingle Bells.

We then headed into the kitchen for water play and washed the toys from the housekeeping area.  We added a little soap to our water and used sponges and toothbrushes to help us get our toys clean.  We worked on our pouring skills, using the bowls, cups and spoons.  We loved it!

We then headed out of the kitchen to use our imaginative play skills and talk on the telephone, explore using the doctor’s blood pressure cuff, dress up and drive the truck around with Little People inside.

Breakfast:  Whole grain wheat bread toasted with butter and cinnamon/sugar mixture and fresh pear slices.

Lunch:  Whole grain wheat pasta with butter and red beans, fresh carrot chips and watermelon.

Afternoon Snack:  Whole milk yogurt and graham crackers.

Have a great evening!

Good Afternoon!

This morning Miss Tina read to us some books that we chose for her to read to us or looked at books independently.

We then listened to several songs by Jim Gill.  We listened to Stick to the Glue and Count and Jump.  In the pictures we are using our fingers to show the numbers we are counting to and used our hands to count all the way to ten.  We added baby dolls to our dancing to music.

After listening to the song Stick To The Glue, we headed into the kitchen to use some glue to stick colorful foam pieces and shapes onto a piece of cardboard to make a collage.

We then headed to the front to do some climbing up the steps and slide mat or rocking on the rainbow star mats.

Breakfast:  Overnight Oatmeal with cinnamon/sugar mixture and fresh pear slices.

Lunch:  Farm fresh scrambled eggs with shredded cheddar cheese, whole grain wheat bread with butter, bananas and peas.

Hello Midweek!

We pulled out the racetrack, tubes, and assorted wood pieces. Our friends experimented with ways to piece them together in order to make their marble move along their path. Daniel built a tube tunnel that went from the table to a basket. He and his friends brainstormed ideas on how to get the tubes just right for marble to travel the whole distance. Other friends got out cars to add to their creations. They used the wood pieces and built a junk yard for their cars to visit.

The playdough table was a big hit this rainy Wednesday. We had friends who made cookies, and two friends who made blueberry pancakes. One of our friends recreated the mountain from the Grinch.

Our small group journal table has gotten a bit bigger with the addition of two other friends. This group produce some very fascinating pictures. We love to hear them tell the story behind their illustrations.

Breakfast: Oatmeal & watermelon

Lunch: Hard boiled eggs (a big hit), cucumber/cauliflower/carrot chips, & pineapple

PM Snack: Popcorn & raisins

Wee Sprouts: carrot chips/cauliflower/cucumbers

Good Afternoon!

Today we made creative tin foil building projects.  We had a couple of options.  One way to work was to start with structural building materials like tongue depressors and straws, then use tape to put it together.  The tin foil could be wrapped and built like a skin on top of the structure.  Another way to use it was to mold and shape the tin foil sculpturally.  We were shown that the tin foil could be used almost like clay or play dough to bend and sculpt into shapes.  We came up with a lot of creative ideas!  Among our great ideas were: a pirate ship, an airplane, a candy bar, a swan on its nest, a person, a kite and a long tailed tiger! 

At the art table our friends made many colorful paintings using watercolors. A few friends discovered they could create new colors by mixing the existing ones. There was a painting of a rainbow, but quite a few of them were just designs that came from your child’s wonderful imagination. They all are so unique just like our WF Family.

K.M.2: Understand the concepts of time including…today, yesterday, tomorrow…

Our Kindergarteners discussed what a timeline is. They made a personal timeline for sign-in. They wrote/drew what activities they did yesterday, today, and what they will be doing tomorrow.

Breakfast: Kix & oranges

Lunch: PB on whole wheat bread, string cheese, cucumbers/green beans/green bell pepper, & watermelon

PM Snack: Whole wheat bagel w/ cream cheese & watermelon

Wee Sprouts: Green beans

Good Afternoon!

This morning we engaged with our object permanence boxes.  We enjoyed working on our fine motor and hand-eye coordination skills to put the balls into the hole and see that they reappear in the drawer or tray.  Dax enjoyed exploring the drawer of his box.

We then were climbing in and sitting in our big plastic blocks.  Emily and Paige both stacked 2 together and left one unstacked, like they were climbing up stairs.

We then headed outside on our cold, but sunny morning to engage with balls, bikes, riding on the teeter totter with a friend or digging with our shovel in the sand.

Breakfast:  Toasted whole grain wheat bread with peanut butter and fresh pear slices.

Lunch:  Whole grain wheat pasta with butter and shredded beef, fresh apples/pineapple and broccoli.

Afternoon Snack:  Whole milk yogurt and graham crackers.

Wee Sprouts:  Yellow bell pepper slices.

Have a marvelous evening!

This morning we did a search find count sort activity.  We searched for sea shells and stones in the sand using excavation tools like paint brushes, tweezers, and various scoops.  We are all in various stages of learning to write and using these tools prepares our fine motor muscles for success in our developing writing skill.  Once we found shells and stones we separated them into jars.  We tried counting them.  we were encouraged to look for the  matching number cards and some of us did this as well.  Of course we all enjoyed the part were we got to use our imaginations and play with our materials.  Many of us really liked filling the jars with sand and practicing screwing on lids (another fine motor skill) .  

There were so many areas of play going on this morning. We had friends in housekeeping taking care of their animals/babies. Some of our friends made a giant volcano with the kinetic sand and decorated it with their shiny blue rocks. Some of our friends came to the table and worked with the geoboards. It is always amazing to see what kind of designs come from this activity.

Fun in the sun! We are going to soak up as many days of sunshine while we can.

Breakfast: Whole wheat bread w/ PB & apples

Lunch: Whole wheat spaghetti w/ shredded cheese, cucumbers/green peppers, & pineapple

PM Snack: Whole milk yogurt & granola

Wee Sprouts: Cucumbers & green bell peppers

Have a fantastic rest of your Monday!

Ms. Linsey & Ms. Kim

Today we created a class collaborative painting to send to Ms. Mindy who we miss so much!  Everyone was excited to help make it.  We used many different kinds of paint rollers with a variety of textures to create our painting.  We mixed primary colors with our rollers as we went creating interesting effects.

         

We all enjoyed the idea of collaborating because afterward many friends spontaneously chose to make more collaborative art using drawing materials.  They made banners and pictures with either a partner or a group of friends.  They proudly walked around the house to show off their banners to all of their friends.

Breakfast: rice cakes with peanut butter, fresh apples and pears

Lunch: lunch meat (turkey) sandwiches, bananas, carrots and green beans

Snack: pretzels with block cheddar cheese
