Happy Halloween!

This morning, we looked at various fall and Halloween books together! Cece and two friends looked at books on their own while Miss Audrey and Miss Bekah read to other friends. 

Many friends also enjoyed dressing up and playing with baby dolls in house keeping! Rowan and another friend wore hats and shoes, walking around the room with them and another friend was focused on feeding her baby and putting her baby in a sleep sack.

Then, we engaged in rolling our pumpkin back and forth! Miss Bekah sang a friend’s name and rolled it to them for the friend to roll back. Cece also walked around the pumpkin and baby Diana got to hold the pumpkin too!

Cece and a few of her friends explored some musical instruments! They started with the xylophones, hearing the sounds the bars made and then flipping it over and rubbing the mallet against the ridges to hear that sound.. Cece and Rowan also explored the shakers, picking up and shaking the various shakers.

Breakfast:  Whole grain brown rice cakes with peanut butter and fresh apple slices.

Lunch:  Hummus, whole grain wheat bread, fresh banana/honeydew melon and cucumber slices.

Afternoon Snack: Homemade pumpkin muffins with whole milk mozzarella cheese stick and pretzels.

Wee Sprout: Cherry tomatoes.

Have a Spooktacular weekend!

Happy Halloween!

We started our day with a baking project.  Everyone helped Miss Ashley make pumpkin muffins for our special Halloween snack!

We enjoyed exploring several art and sensory/imaginative play activities in the classroom.  We worked on pastel Halloween pictures brushed with black watercolor in the art center.  We made witches brew in the tuff tray and enjoyed some imaginative Halloween play with friends. We also enjoyed listening to some Halloween stories!

While we were clearing the garden yesterday one of the kids asked if we could measure the tallest sunflower in the garden.  Today, we brought our measuring tools out with us.  We cut one of the flower stalks and brought it to the deck.  We used our new tape measures to find out how long the sunflower was.  It took the help of several kids holding two tape measures down but we found it was six feet long!

Breakfast– Brown rice cakes with cream cheese and banana.

Lunch– Homemade english muffin pizzas, fresh honeydew melon/banana, and fresh cucumbers.

PM snack– Homemade pumpkin muffins, fresh clementines, and cheddar cheese slices.

Wee Sprout– Fresh cucumber/pepper.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Then we went outside, riding bikes, playing with sand and rocking back and forth on the teeter totters!

**PAJAMA DAY TOMORROW!

Our PREK1 friends came to the sign in board this morning where they chose one shape, identified it, and sorted it into the correct group based on the number of sides.

K.RV.2.2: Identify and sort pictures of objects into categories (e.g. colors, shapes, and opposites).

Today became all about numbers.  Several kids started counting the “Halloween pastries” they made out of playdough yesterday as they added one topping for each.  Today we took a jar of those toppings to the round table along with a bowl of numbers and offered further exploration in counting.  We had great questions like “How do I make 11 with numbers?” and “What should I use the 0 for?”.  We even got to try some early addition.

In the science area we used our new tape measures to measure how long everything in the science area was :).  There has been a lot of interest in measuring so we reinforced that interest with some new tools!

Our journals just keep on getting more complex and interesting!  Here are a few from this week!

Breakfast: Puffins cereal with fresh pineapple.

Lunch: Brown rice with shredded turkey,  fresh watermelon/clementines/pineapple, and fresh cucumbers/green beans.

PM Snack: Whole wheat crackers with peanut butter and seed mixture.

Wee Sprouts: Fresh cucumber/pepper.

Have a wonderful day!

Good afternoon!

We started this morning by engaging with the assorted balls! Rowan found and pulled out the big green ball and his friends joined him in throwing the balls, rolling the balls around and exploring the different textures of each ball.

Then, we played with rhythm sticks while listening to music! Rowan, Cece and another friend went around the room with their rhythm sticks, exploring the different sounds the sticks made on different surfaces.

In the kitchen, we engaged with textured sensory balls and ramps at the light table. Miss Bekah also set up a ramp that went from the light table into a bin on the floor, and Clara enjoyed watching the balls go into the bin.

Then, we headed outside the engage in our favorite activities.

Good Afternoon!

We talked about question marks for our PREK1 sign in this morning. Before we start thinking about using question marks in our writing, we should understand what they mean and when we use them. Children answered my question, ‘What Is Your Favorite Lunch Food?’. We already knew this but the majority reinforced that PASTA is their favorite lunch food! We did have one child share, ‘They’re all my favorites!”—she was able to narrow it down and choose one .

K.W.6.2b: Punctuation—Recognizing and naming end punctuation.

We continued exploring our Halloween holiday interest in some new black and orange home made playdoh!  Several kids liked creating Halloween themed pastries.  They decorated their creations with spiders, ghosts and pumpkins making some beautiful and spooky pretend treats!

At the round table we explored a “bone dig”.  We hid and looked for bones buried in the sand.  Some kids had creative ideas for their finds.  One friend made a graveyard filled with ghosts using his excavated bones.  Another friends wanted to make a spooky Halloween garden with hers.  She planted her bones like stalks in neat rows :).

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

Breakfast: Kix cereal with fresh pineapple/banana.

Lunch: Peanut butter on whole wheat bread, fresh watermelon/clementines, and fresh bell peppers/cucumbers.

PM Snack: Whole wheat bagel with cream cheese.

Good Afternoon!

We kicked off the week by talking about the term ‘opposites’. A few friends were unsure about what opposites were so we talked about how they are completely different, contrasting each other. Each PREK1 friend got to choose a card with a word written on it. We searched the board and taped the word next to the opposite.

K.RV.2.2: Identify and sort pictures of objects into categories (e.g colors, shapes, and opposites).

Today we were thinking about Halloween!  We tried dressing up in costumes.  We explored a sensory bin filled with eyeballs, skeletons and worms.  We arranged spiders and bats at the light table.  At the art center, we got creative with black and orange paint squeeze bottles.  Friends shared that they were making jack-o-lanterns, Halloween candy or abstract designs.  There were many ways to get involved!

Please enjoy a few more pictures from our day

Breakfast: Whole wheat toast with peanut butter and fresh apples.

Lunch: Whole wheat pasta with kidney beans/chicken, fresh tomatoes/cucumbers/peppers, and fresh pineapple/bananas.
