Good Afternoon!

In our K group, we read ‘Farmer Duck’ which transitioned us into a conversation about community helpers. For the kindergarten sign in this morning, children had to write down one community helper and then verbally share how that specific community helper helps us.

We created a web where we wrote down as many community helpers that we could think of. This list will help us tomorrow as we start a group activity!

Social Studies: K.2.1 Give examples of people who are community helpers (inside the classroom and outside the classroom) and describe how they help us.

Water Wednesday was a huge success! Friends took turns walking or running through the sprinkler. Of course, there’s always a few that prefer to stand back and watch which is perfectly fine! After a while in the sprinkler, some friends decided to head over to the water table where they explored with water and how it moves.

Breakfast– Whole grain oatmeal with cinnamon and fresh peaches.

Lunch– Farm fresh scrambled eggs with whole wheat bread, fresh watermelon, and fresh carrots/cucumber.

PM snack– Blue corn chips with hummus.

Wee Sprout– Fresh carrots/cucumber.

Have a wonderful evening!

Good Afternoon!

Yesterday, we focused on rules that we follow inside the classroom so today in our K group, we created a web with rules that we follow while we’re in our outdoor environment. As we did yesterday, friends also share why it’s important to follow these rules outside.

Social Studies: K.2.3 Give examples of classroom and school rules and explain how each helps us.

In PREK2 group, friends made a list of people who help us around our community. Once they shared their community helper, they wrote their name next to it.

Happy Monday!

We read, ‘What Do You Do With A Problem?’ in our kindergarten group. Afterwards, we talked about our kindergarten sign in which required children to pick one rule that we follow inside and either write or draw it. Then, they had to verbally share why we have this rule.

This theme continued on into our group session where we created a web with various indoor rules. Once friends stated the rule, they had to say why we follow that specific rule.

The FAB’s that we’ll be focusing on this week are:

Social Studies: K.2.1 Give examples of people who are community helpers (inside the classroom and outside the classroom) and describe how they help us.

Social Studies: K.2.3 Give examples of classroom and school rules and explain how each helps us.

In PREK2, children focused on the four pictures that were on the board. They had to verbally share who they think uses those tools. After they shared, they wrote their name on the white board.

We saw friends come into the environment this morning and quickly become engaged in building activities, art table, and fine motor manipulative work.

What a beautiful start to our week.

Breakfast– Whole wheat toast with butter and banana.

Lunch– Whole wheat pasta with butter and shredded turkey, fresh watermelon, and fresh green beans/tomatoes.

PM snack– Whole milk yogurt with fresh peaches.

Wee Sprout– Fresh green beans/tomatoes.

Happy Friday!

In our K group, we read the story, ‘Giraffe’s Can’t Dance’ which documents Gerald’s dancing journey. To begin the story, Gerald gets mad fun of because he can’t dance, to which every K member replied, “Ugh! They’re being mean to Gerald. That’s not nice.”

Towards the end of the story, Gerald found music that suited him which in turn, made him a better dancer! Mack concluded, “See! Gerald CAN dance!”

Good Afternoon!

The kindergarteners sign in this morning revolved around their neighborhoods and what they see on a regular basis. This theme extended on into our K group where we read, ‘Strictly No Elephants’ which is a book about a boy who has a pet elephant. They are left out of a ‘pet party’ because having an elephant as a pet is viewed as different. The elephant and his owner make up their own group of ‘unique’ pets including a skunk, giraffe, and narwhal!

Afterwards, we each shared the type of home we live in as well as three things we see in our neighborhood! Several of us had similar things we see regularly such as trees, grass, and various animals.

Social Studies: K.3.6 Identify and compare similarities and differences in families, classmates, neighbors and neighborhoods, and ethnic and cultural groups.

In PREK2, children continued to share similarities and differences between their peers. Today, they shared whether or not they have a stuffed animal friend at home!

Check out the rest of our day!

Breakfast– Kix and fresh strawberries.

Lunch– Brown rice with shredded beef, fresh oranges/banana, and fresh pepper/cherry tomatoes.

PM snack– Graham crackers and peanuts.

Wee Sprout– Fresh green pepper/cherry tomatoes.

Have a wonderful night!
