Good Afternoon!
We started to get into the Halloween spirit during K group as we read the book, ‘Patty’s Pumpkin Patch’. Throughout the story, friends identified several exclamation points that they saw.
After the story was done, we read five sentences that were pulled from the story. We chatted about the punctuation that was used and read the sentences the way they should be read given the specific punctuation. I asked the group if they noticed anything about the beginning of each sentence and a friend shared, “They all have bigger letters!”—this started a conversation about uppercase letters/capital letters and how all sentences begin with an uppercase letters.
K.W.6.2a: Capitalization–Capitalizing the first word in a sentence and the pronoun I.
K.W.6.2b: Punctuation–Recognizing and naming end punctuation.
In PREK2, each child was given three cards that had different numbers on it. Miss Kim drew a specific number of circles and friends had to chose what number card matched the array on the chalkboard.
We tried to brighten up the rainy, dreary morning by offering a fun pumpkin activity! Children stood behind the pumpkin and put their arms through the arm holes. They chose two eyes, a nose, and a mouth and placed them (without looking!) onto the pumpkin. They came around to the front to see what their pumpkin face looked like!
Breakfast– Kix and fresh oranges.
Lunch– Grilled cheese on whole wheat bread, fresh watermelon/apples, and fresh carrots.
PM snack– Whole wheat bagel with cream cheese and cheddar block cheese.
Wee Sprout– Fresh carrots.
Have a wonderful evening!

Happy Monday!
We’re going to be diving into punctuation and capitalization in K group this week and today, we started exploring the three punctuation marks that we use in our writing and see in the stories that we read. We added onto our kindergarten sign in by identifying the punctuation marks and sorted sentences based on the mark that was used.
When we came to the exclamation point, a friend said, “Like if I said, “I love candy!”. Friends were quick to give an example of a sentence using specific punctuation.
K.W.6.2b: Punctuation–Recognizing and naming end punctuation.
In PREK2, children worked with items and sorted them into the correct categories such as bugs, cold things, and food. They discussed what made the items alike in each category.
Children were quick to come to the art table this morning to explore a sensory experience involving Halloween goodies, various colored liquid, and ladles.
The rest of our morning was consumed with reading books in various spots in the environment and building with wooden blocks before bundling up to go outside.
Breakfast– Whole wheat toast with peanut butter and fresh apples.
Lunch– Whole wheat pasta with marinara sauce and shredded cheese, fresh watermelon, and fresh carrots/cucumber.
PM snack– Whole milk yogurt with fresh apples.
Wee Sprout– Fresh cucumber/carrots.
Have a wonderful evening!

It is Friday!
Today’s welcome activity was a pumpkin math game. It was our first time doing it, so we just used our spinner to move our players to the next space. It was a good one-to-one correspondence activity. Our twos joined in the game with the help of their older peers.
Our Kindergarteners had a fun sign-in this morning! They went around collecting leaves in their buckets. Once they were done, they had to create a pattern using them. They created a pattern based on size and color. One of our kindergarteners collected enough leaves to spread it out all the way across the deck.
With so many leaves on the ground, the younger WF got out their own buckets to collect them. They were used to make nests and some collected them for pretend food.
**Please bring in winter clothing (a least two changes) for your child’s bathroom cubby.**
