Good Afternoon!

Children were anxious to explore the new sensory bin: kinetic sand!

Ice cream themed materials were placed within the bin and the kinetic sand was perfect as pretend ice cream. Friends served up one another and explored the properties of our newest sensory experience.

The chains were used in a different way today! The challenge was to get out of the chains when sitting in a chair!

It was the PERFECT morning. Sunshine and temperatures that didn’t make us sweat after five minutes of being outside. Friends explored the outdoor environment, using baby dolls and bikes in their play.

Lunch– Whole wheat noodles with butter and red beans, fresh cantaloupe, and fresh carrots/cucumber.

Happy Friday!

This morning we independently looked at books on the reading step or sitting on a big plastic block.

A friends was interested in engaging her gross motor muscles to do some hopping.  So we went over to the habitrail area and we each chose a big plastic block and began hopping/jumping off of them with her.

Good Afternoon!

We started adding to our character chart yesterday in K group and today, we added Charlotte and Templeton to our character list. We wrote beside the name the part in the story that the character plays. We were finally introduced to Charlotte today and it was quite the buildup for friends as we were reading!

There’s been several words that children have inquired about that they didn’t know the meaning for! We stop a few times each day as we’re reading to identify new words.

For kindergartener sign in, children have to write the setting of Charlotte’s Web so far. Most children wrote farm while a few others added Fern’s house that was at the beginning of the story.

The rest of our day was full of observing a few kindergarten children create books with detailed drawings and word to go along with their illustrations, extensive work on the building rug, and some fresh air earlier this morning.

Breakfast– Toasted oatmeal squares and banana.

Lunch– Brown rice with shredded turkey, fresh pineapple/pears, and fresh cucumber/pepper.

PM snack– Triscuits and pistachios.

Wee Sprout– Fresh cucumber/pepper.

Have a lovely night!

Good Afternoon!

This morning was a water play/toy washing day.  We engaged in using our paint brushes, sponges and cup to pour warm soapy water on our toys to help clean them. Friends did some splashing and treasure hunting to find their paint brush hidden in the soapy water.  We had a blast!

We also noticed a bug crawling on our ceiling.  We enjoyed observing it even though it was too high for any of us to reach.

During outside time, we continued looking for bugs in the garden.

Breakfast:  Kix cereal and fresh banana.

Lunch:  Whole grain brown rice with turkey, fresh banana/strawberries and carrots.

Good Afternoon!

We are on the third day of reading Charlotte’s Web in K group. We explored the main characters for our sign in activity. Children had to write the name of one character that has been identified and one thing that we’ve learned about them.

In group, we read another chapter and afterwards, we identified a few of the main characters so far and what their role is in the story.

With the humidity making it super warm in the morning, we decided to head outside much earlier than we usually do. We went outside right after breakfast which allowed us to still get some fresh air. We love having the ability to switch up our schedule to accommodate our friends needs. 

Breakfast– Overnight night oats and fresh strawberries.

Lunch– Farm fresh scrambled eggs with whole wheat flatbread, fresh mango/oranges, and fresh snap peas/cherry tomatoes.

PM snack– Blue corn tortillas and hummus.

Have a wonderful night!
