Good Afternoon!
Happy birthday, Cassie! We celebrated Cassie’s 30th birthday today! We hope you had a fantastic day, Cass!
We read, Duck for President, in K group today! We’ve been chatted about voting and the importance of it the past two days. Throughout the story, Duck went from running for the head of the farm to Governor to President!
Before heading to the journal table, each friend took their own counting sheet and counted to 100 by 10’s. They point to each number and said it aloud.
K.NS.1: Count to at least 100 by ones and tens.
In PREK2, children had the opportunity to use a dry erase marker to fill in missing uppercase letters.
“Whatever you are, be a good one.”
-Abraham Lincoln
We took the time this morning to vote. Children were told their choices, given a writing utensil, and place their ballot in the ballot box. Just like adults do.
We counted the ballots and in our class, Joe Biden was elected President.
After voting between Clifford and Duck yesterday to prepare us for today, friends still wanted to vote for Clifford! 
A glimpse into the rest of our day!

Happy Monday!
In K group, we read, ‘Stick Man’. Afterwards, we talked about how librarians categorize books in a library, something we had hit on during kindergarten sign in. We identified the author of Stick Man, Julia Donaldson! We discussed how Stick Man would be placed in the ‘D’ section because of the last name of Donaldson.
K.1.19: Learn and apply knowledge of alphabetical order (first letter) when using a classroom or school library/media center.
During kindergarten sign in, children had to categorize the following books by the author’s last name:
The Little Mouse, The Red Ripe Strawberry, and the Big Hungry Bear—written by Don Wood
Up, Up, Down—written by Robert Munsch
Stellaluna—written by Janell Cannon
The Mitten—written by Jan Brett
They identified the author’s last name and had to determine the correct order based on last name!
With the election just one day away, we decided to dive into democracy at a level that our class can comprehend: will Duck or Clifford win?!
Miss Kim read two stories that revolved around elections: Duck for President and Clifford for President.
After reading both stories, we talked about a few characteristics of each nominee that would make them a good President.
Each friend got to fill out a ballot and place it in the ballot box!
Tomorrow, we’ll vote for the real thing! If you’re anxious to see how our class would vote and who we would elect, check back here tomorrow!
The rest of our day was full of sunshine and smiles—two of our favorite things!
Breakfast– Whole wheat toast with butter and banana/pear.
Lunch– Whole wheat pasta with butter and shredded beef, fresh pineapple, and fresh carrots/cucumber.
PM snack– Whole milk yogurt with granola and pineapple.
Wee Sprout– Fresh carrots/cucumber.

Good Afternoon
**We are going to have a small Halloween celebration tomorrow afternoon. If you’d like, please bring a costume for your child to wear. Thanks!
In K group, we read a book from our MACK collection titled, ‘Just Ask’. At the center of the book is the simple notion that if you have a question about someone, ask them. Throughout the story, we met characters who had Dyslexia, ADHD, Downs Syndrome, and Diabetes (to name a few). Of course, the questions arose, “What is ____”. So, we read the page and then afterwards, chatted about the unknown word and explored the illustrations to try to answer our questions.
There were a few times when children connected their personal life to what we were talking about in the book. For example, knowing someone who is in a wheel chair. Children were very invested in the story and at the at, the author posed the question, “How will you do with your powers?”—ask you child what they said 
.
MACK Week 9: Children will celebrate the differences and similarities that connect all people.
In PREK2, children played number pickup. Children covered all of their numbers with a gem and when they picked up a gem, they had to say the number that was showing.
Here’s a look at the rest of our Thursday!
Breakfast– Whole Grain Cheerios with fresh pears.
Lunch– Brown rice with shredded beef, fresh watermelon, and fresh broccoli/cucumber.
PM snack– Sunflower seeds and whole wheat crackers.
Wee Sprout– Fresh broccoli/cucumber.
Have a fantastic evening!
