Good Afternoon!
Our PREK1 sign in focused not only on coins but continuing patterns. Children came to the sign in board where they identified an AABAAB pattern using pennies and quarters. They wrote their name under what coin came next in the pattern.
There has been a lot of puzzle interest in our classroom lately. Several kids have been wanting to challenge themselves with more difficult puzzles. Puzzles are a wonderful activity for the brain and body. They help to build fine motor skills, problem solving skills, memory and spatial awareness. Puzzles help kids lengthen attention span and build focused attention. Kids are required to practice patience as they work, then build self esteem as they enjoy the fruits of their labor. We are happy to see this interest growing in our kids!
Please enjoy a few more pictures from our day!

Good Afternoon!
Our kids were so interested in maps and globes last week that Miss Tami looked to add new additions to our classroom to feed off of that interest. We have two new floor puzzles for our classroom! We’ve been exploring the floor puzzles the last few days. One of the puzzles is of our country while the other floor puzzle is our world! It’s been a great authentic opportunity for kids to work collectively together as well as problem solve.
The light table was switched out to the blue circles and our white tree! Children spent the morning placing the blue circles onto the branches on the tree—a great fine motor activity!
Our PREK2 kiddos have been absolutely loving their daily journal experience! Enjoy a few journals from yesterday.
Breakfast– Kix cereal with fresh clementines.
Lunch– Peanut butter sandwiches on whole wheat bread, fresh pears/banana, and fresh pepper/cucumber.
PM snack– Whole wheat cinnamon raisin bagel with cream cheese.

This morning, Miss Bekah read books with us! Friends took turns sitting by and bringing books to her. Even Diana enjoyed looking at a book while it was read to her! .
Then we went into the kitchen and engaged with peg boards, making towers with our pegs and identified the shape of peg boards we had.
We also played in boxes with bears as baby dolls, and then continued to play with them in housekeeping.

Happy Monday!
This morning we were busy building with our Interstar Connectors.
w
We then headed into the kitchen to engage with playdough. We used rolling pins and hammers to roll and pound our playdough flat. We also used shape cookie cutters to cut out shapes and our fingers to poke holes into it.
Throughout the morning we played with both plastic and stuffed animals! Some friends played pretend with their animals and Cece used a ramp on its side to hold her animals. In housekeeping, a couple friends played with their stuffed animals, hiding them behind their backs for Miss Audrey, then feeding the animals with play food.

We kicked off our week in PREK1 group by starting to talk about coins, the names of the coins, and their values. Today, we focused on the penny, what it looks like, and how much it’s worth. Children identified the penny and wrote their name under the name. Throughout the week, we will authentically plug in coins in our play and child driven curriculum to start children thinking about coins, why we use them, and eventually the names and values!
This morning we explored counting, coins and their values during an imaginative play experience at the round table. We looked carefully at each coin and learned the names of quarters, dimes, pennies and nickels. Older kids learned about the value as well. Afterwards, kids pretended to buy or sell fruit using their counting skills to count out fruit or coins. We try to create imaginative play experiences around new skills because this is the best way for kids to have a meaningful learning experience.
PREK2: During group, we talked about giving gifts during the holidays. We talked about ways we could share gifts we could create on our own or with a little help, like making cards, artwork or baking cookies. On the board, decided who we would like to give a gift to.
Breakfast: Whole wheat bagels with butter and cinnamon along with fresh pears.
Lunch: Whole wheat pasta with marinara sauce, fresh cantaloupe/pears, and fresh cucumbers/peppers.
PM Snack: Whole milk yogurt with banana.
Wee Sprouts: Fresh cucumbers/peppers.
Enjoy the afternoon!

Happy Friday!
This morning we painted with Puffy Paint. Puffy paint is a mixture of shaving cream, glue, and paint. We used blue and white to make it a lighter blue and added some sliver glitter to make it sparkle like snow. We then used a paint brush to dab or spread it to around our papers. As it dries it will look puffy.
Miss Audrey then brought down our sheer curtain for us to walk through.
Breakfast: Whole grain brown rice cakes with cream cheese and fresh pineapple slices.
Lunch: Rotisserie chicken lunch meat, whole grain wheat bread, fresh watermelon and cucumber.
Afternoon Snack: Pretzels and Mild-cheddar block cheese.
Wee Sprout: Mini sweet peppers.
Have a great weekend!

Happy Thursday!
This morning, we engaged with the Mix n’ Match animals! Friends put together animals and explored the pieces.
In the kitchen, we played with colorful wooden stringing beads loose parts with pattern cards. We enjoyed stacking the beads, stringing the beads on a pipe cleaner or matching the colors on the pattern card.
After Wee Sprout, Miss Bekah brought out two tunnels for us to crawl through! We had so much fun crawling through the two tunnels and running back to the start.

Good Afternoon!
This morning we explored an “every shape block building” activity. Friends were invited to use their creative problem solving to create with the materials at the table. One thing several friends became interested in was using the slotted pieces along with some round wooden chips. They found if they made an incline plane at the right angle, they could roll the chips down the slots. They all enjoyed a little applied physics in their play today!
In the art center we learned about a mixed media technique to experiment with. We tried making drawings with oil pastels and then painting over the top. We learned that the oil in the pastel repels the water in the paint…so a little science along with art.
Several kids continued their interest in maps and globes. We looked for places like America, India and the North Pole on the map!
Breakfast: Kix cereal with fresh watermelon.
Lunch: Brown rice with chicken, fresh pineapple/apple slices, and fresh cucumber/bell peppers.
PM Snack: Whole wheat crackers with peanut butter and sunflower/pepita seeds.
