Good Afternoon!
In K/PREK1 group, we read a few pages in ‘Here and There’, a book that dives into different cultures and ways of life in various countries. Today, we focused strictly on grocery stores and how they look different depending on where you live.
After reading the first page, we made a list of the grocery stores around us that we know of. I asked Grady and David how their family got groceries while they were home and they shared the store that their family shops at the most. David shared, “Oh that one store where I get donuts…Rise N’Roll!!” This started a conversation about the differences between restaurants and grocery stores.
Did you know?
In Indonesia, they have ‘floating markets’ on the river where people sell fruit, veggies, and flowers that they have grown!
Social Studies: K.4.2 Identify and describe different kinds of jobs that people do and the tools they use.
In PREK2, a list was started that focused on the tools that different workers use to do their job. Today, they focused on a chef and the tools needed to do his or her job!
Several friends joined Miss Annastecia’s yoga session and were fantastic demonstrators! Many children are interested in the Lion King and the characters that are in the story so Miss Annastecia chose to read a lion story which paired well with lion yoga posses!
The interest in lions also lead into an art activity this morning where children used various manipulatives to make their own lion mask! They all looked very different and unique!
We hope everyone enjoyed their Tuesday!

Lunch– Peanut butter on whole wheat bread, fresh apples, and fresh carrots.

Welcome back!
This week, our FAB focus is:
Social Studies: K.4.2 Identify and describe different kinds of jobs that people do and the tools they use.
In K/PREK1, we read ‘Goodnight, Goodnight, Construction Site’. Before reading the story, we looked at the cover and came to the conclusion that it was a fiction story because real dump trucks don’t have eyes. I asked the question, “What do real dump trucks look like and how do they work?” Grady shared that people operate trucks like that which lead into our discussion after the book was finished.
We made a web where we added the tools that construction workers use as well as duties that they have.

Good Afternoon!
K/PREK1 had a poetry day where we read different poems from ‘Be Glad Your Nose Is On Your Face’. Afterwards, we got on the topic of counting to 100, which lead into each friend counting to 100, 101, and 110 respectively. We’ve been working on counting by 10’s and today, friends focused on counting by 1’s in several aspects of their play.
K.NS.1: Count up to at least 100 by ones and tens.
In PREK2, children explored a St. Patrick’s Day activity where they worked with dice and a pot of gold! Throughout the activity, children demonstrated their understanding of simple addition and subtraction.
To start their day, Grady and Sophia worked with the colored bears. First, they placed them in specific spaces all around the lazy Susan. They created a circular display of bears before breaking it apart and counting the groups of bears based on color.
Snuggles and stories are a part of our every day life. But, for Evie and a peer, the stories they’re reading are making their way into their play!
They’ve been interested in the Lion King lately so we read it this morning and then they went off to go play. As they created their own game in habitrail, they became Scar and the hyenas, “because they’re bad guys!”
They used characteristics and even phrases that they heard in the book and transferred it into their play experience.
Breakfast– Kix and fresh strawberries.
Lunch– Melted shredded cheese on whole wheat flatbread, fresh cantaloupe, and fresh green beans.
PM snack– Whole wheat bagel with cream cheese and string cheese.
Wee Sprout– Fresh green beans.
Have a wonderful evening.
