Good Afternoon!

Honestly, the most memorable thing about today was that we FINALLY GOT OUTSIDE! We have been looking in the backyard lately, daydreaming about the day when we could venture outside and today was that day! The sun was shining and even though the snow was deep and compact, we all had a fantastic time!

Enjoy the pictures! Sun

Happy Monday!

In K group, we read, ‘Hey, Little Ant’ which is a book that revolves around kindness and looking at a situation from another’s point of view. Afterwards, each friend found their name on a piece of paper. We gathered in a group and compared the length of the names. Together, we put them in order from shortest to longest. Mack and Z were comparing their names and put them up next to each other. Mack said, “My name is shorter because I can see a little pink in Z’s name!”

K.M.1: Make direction comparisons of the length, capacity, weight, and temperature of objects, and recognize which object is shorter, longer, taller, lighter, heavier, warmer, cooler, or holds more.

In PREK2, children read a new book and chatted about the word ‘predictions’. At a point in the book, children made predictions on who was going to be at the door!

Good Afternoon!

In K group, we read a book from our MACK collection. This week, our MACK focuses on identifying traits within oneself that makes one a good friend.

Once we finished reading the book, we took five events that occurred within the story and sorted them based on whether they happened in the morning or evening time. We looked at the scenery of each specific scene to help us figure out if the event happened in the morning or evening.

K.M.2: Understand concepts of time, including: morning, afternoon, evening, today, yesterday, tomorrow, day, week, month, and year. Understand that clocks and calendars are tools that measure time.

Kindergarteners signed in throughout the morning. They were given four scenes from one of our favorite stories: the Gruffalo. I read each scene and using their understanding and recall of the story, they placed the four events into the order in which they happened.

K.1.4: Identify and order events that take place in a sequence.

In PREK2, children read ‘Croc Around The Clock’. After, they talked about the terms morning, afternoon, and evening. They talked about events or activities that we do in each time during the day.
