Happy Friday!

This morning we engaged in a color matching and sorting game.  We used the colored circles and had to go around the classroom and find an item to bring back and place it in the circle that matches the color of the item.

We then headed to the kitchen to draw with chalk on black construction paper.

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

Lunch:  Cheddar cheese quesadillas on whole grain flatbread, banana and peas.

Afternoon Snack:  Pretzels and Colby/ Monterey Jack block cheese.

Good Afternoon!

After reading, ‘The Kissing Hand’, in K group, we all got a chance to say what our favorite animal is and why. Friends shared their favorite animal and one characteristic that the animal possesses that makes them special or unique. Our favorite animals range from tiger to bat to various dinosaurs.

Science: K.4.1 Give examples of plants and animals.

For kindergarten sign in, children had to draw a flower and identify the parts of a flower. Children were very detailed in their drawings, even drawing the water underneath the ground that gets absorbed by the roots!

We are so thankful for a daily schedule that can be altered to benefit the children’s needs. We were supposed to get rain around the time we usually went outside so instead, we headed out right after breakfast. Miss Annastecia and Miss Rebekah came out with our younger friends and brought a special book: Yoga Bunny!

A large group gathered in front of Miss Annastecia and listened to the story which is full of directions and yoga posses. What a great way to start our morning!

The yoga session and various activities where our bodies moved energetically made us hungry! We stopped for a quick veggie break and our Wee Sprouts didn’t even last two minutes! It didn’t help that our sprouts for the day were cucumber and pepper: our two FAVORITES!

Breakfast– Whole Grain Cheerios with banana.

Lunch– Brown rice with shredded chicken and butter, fresh cantaloupe, and fresh green beans/cucumber.

PM snack– Graham crackers with peanuts.

Wee Sprout– Fresh cucumber/pepper.

Have a lovely evening!

Good Afternoon!

This morning we went out earlier to get some outside time in before the rain.  While we were outside, Miss Annastecia read a book called Yoga Bunny by Brian Russo to all friends that were interested. While she was reading it, friends practiced the yoga poses on each page. Friends were then each given the opportunity to choose a yoga pose they wanted the friends to do.  Nesta chose the superhero pose.

Katherine enjoyed some outside time as well.  She engaged with the Little People and pushing her truck across the blanket.

After the rain shortened outside time, we engaged in the rice sensory bin and a tunnel that has 4 tunnels for us to choose to crawl through.

Breakfast:  Cheerios and banana.

Lunch:  Whole grain brown rice with shredded chicken, banana and mixed vegetables.

Afternoon Snack:  Wheat Thins with peanut butter.

This morning we engaged in a painting activity.  We started the activity off by reading the book Mouse Paint by Ellen Stoll Walsh.  Each friend was then given a little blue, red and yellow paint in a small bowl.  Each friend then chose 2 colors to mix together using their paint brush to see what new color they created on their papers. Our painting creations are amazing.

Breakfast:  Chex cereal and fresh pears.

Happy Monday!

In K group, we created a web to display our prior knowledge about flowers and plants! Friends shared names of flowers that they know and so far, our list consists of fruit brushes (blueberry for example!), roses, daffodils, sunflowers, and tulips. We’ll continue to discuss plants and animals throughout the week!

For K sign in, children had to come up with one animal that fit into the category. For example, the first question said to write the name of an animal who can swim.

Science: K.4.1 Give examples of plants and animals.
