Good afternoon! We spent some time in the block area playing with Duplos. Cece, Rowan and a couple other friends took turns taking Duplos out of the basket to connect them.

We also played with baby dolls several times throughout the morning! Rowan brought his baby doll to the ballet bar to look at their reflections together in the mirrors and another friend sat on the rocking chair with her baby doll. Even baby Diana played with a baby doll!

We then headed into the kitchen to engage in a sensory experience with playdough.  We squeezed it with our hands and worked to flatten it using a wooden hammer and rolling pin.

Outside, we rode on the teeter totters and bikes. Later on, a few friends decided to explore the vehicle ramps. They picked a couple vehicles and pushed them down the ramp for another friend to catch.

Breakfast: Whole grain Corn Chex cereal with fresh oranges.

Lunch: Whole grain wheat bread with hummus, fresh pineapple and cooked corn

Good Afternoon!

We worked with singular and plural nouns for our PREK1 sign in this morning. Children used the context clues around the two options for nouns which was the word ‘two’. Based on the word ‘two’ children knew that the correct noun was eyes, not eye.

K.W.6.1a: Nouns/Pronouns—Writing sentences that include singular and/or plural nouns (e.g. dog/dogs, cat/cats)

This morning we explored different ways to remove seeds from a pumpkin.  We chose from tools like a melon baller, an ice cream scoop, a spoon and tweezers.  After trying each one we thought about which one we liked using the best or which we felt worked the best.  Some kids voted for the spoon while others favored the tweezers.  We baked the seeds in the oven and we are all excited to taste them at snack time!

PREK2:  This morning we read the story “Somewhere Today”.  Afterward, we talked about all the things that people did in the story to help others.  On the board we picked one thing we would like to do from the story that would help others.

Please enjoy a few more pictures from our day!

Breakfast: Kix cereal with fresh pineapple.

Lunch: Peanut butter on whole wheat tortilla, fresh clementines/apples/pineapples, and fresh peppers/cucumbers.

This morning we engaged in exploring to build with Magna-Tiles.  We were making small stacks with them.

We then engaged with the silk dress-dress up scarves and danced with them.

What a great Halloween parade we had on Friday!  There were so many wonderful costumes and beautiful weather!

Today, we offered an activity requested by a few curious kids who love magnets.  Some friends mentioned they would love to experiment again with the magnets and a compass.  We got out all our magnet science options and let the kids explore openly.  One new discovery was the ability to move the round magnets around the top of a can using a magnetic wand!

We hope you enjoy a few more pictures from our day!

Happy Halloween!

This morning, we looked at various fall and Halloween books together! Cece and two friends looked at books on their own while Miss Audrey and Miss Bekah read to other friends. 

Many friends also enjoyed dressing up and playing with baby dolls in house keeping! Rowan and another friend wore hats and shoes, walking around the room with them and another friend was focused on feeding her baby and putting her baby in a sleep sack.

Then, we engaged in rolling our pumpkin back and forth! Miss Bekah sang a friend’s name and rolled it to them for the friend to roll back. Cece also walked around the pumpkin and baby Diana got to hold the pumpkin too!

Cece and a few of her friends explored some musical instruments! They started with the xylophones, hearing the sounds the bars made and then flipping it over and rubbing the mallet against the ridges to hear that sound.. Cece and Rowan also explored the shakers, picking up and shaking the various shakers.

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

Lunch:  Hummus, whole grain wheat bread, fresh banana/honeydew melon and cucumber slices.

Happy Halloween!

We started our day with a baking project.  Everyone helped Miss Ashley make pumpkin muffins for our special Halloween snack!

We enjoyed exploring several art and sensory/imaginative play activities in the classroom.  We worked on pastel Halloween pictures brushed with black watercolor in the art center.  We made witches brew in the tuff tray and enjoyed some imaginative Halloween play with friends. We also enjoyed listening to some Halloween stories!

While we were clearing the garden yesterday one of the kids asked if we could measure the tallest sunflower in the garden.  Today, we brought our measuring tools out with us.  We cut one of the flower stalks and brought it to the deck.  We used our new tape measures to find out how long the sunflower was.  It took the help of several kids holding two tape measures down but we found it was six feet long!

Breakfast– Brown rice cakes with cream cheese and banana.

Lunch– Homemade english muffin pizzas, fresh honeydew melon/banana, and fresh cucumbers.

PM snack– Homemade pumpkin muffins, fresh clementines, and cheddar cheese slices.

Then we went outside, riding bikes, playing with sand and rocking back and forth on the teeter totters!

**PAJAMA DAY TOMORROW!

Our PREK1 friends came to the sign in board this morning where they chose one shape, identified it, and sorted it into the correct group based on the number of sides.

K.RV.2.2: Identify and sort pictures of objects into categories (e.g. colors, shapes, and opposites).

Today became all about numbers.  Several kids started counting the “Halloween pastries” they made out of playdough yesterday as they added one topping for each.  Today we took a jar of those toppings to the round table along with a bowl of numbers and offered further exploration in counting.  We had great questions like “How do I make 11 with numbers?” and “What should I use the 0 for?”.  We even got to try some early addition.

In the science area we used our new tape measures to measure how long everything in the science area was :).  There has been a lot of interest in measuring so we reinforced that interest with some new tools!

Our journals just keep on getting more complex and interesting!  Here are a few from this week!

Breakfast: Puffins cereal with fresh pineapple.

Lunch: Brown rice with shredded turkey,  fresh watermelon/clementines/pineapple, and fresh cucumbers/green beans.

PM Snack: Whole wheat crackers with peanut butter and seed mixture.

Wee Sprouts: Fresh cucumber/pepper.

Have a wonderful day!
