Good Afternoon!
Teacher Tom always has an interesting and educated point of view and while reading this blog he recently posted, I found myself nodding along at certain points.

“People who save lives are called heroes, and maybe we’ll all feel that way at some point in the future, but right now it feels more like we are plunging into an unknown forest, following a path into darkness that we hope leads back into the light. What we are left with is putting one foot in front of the other. I can do that. You can do that. Today we can do it. Tomorrow we can do it. And then one day, no one can say when just now, we will find ourselves on the other side. We will be exhausted, sore, and perhaps even injured, but we will be heroes even if it doesn’t exactly feel like it.”

Good Afternoon!
We read the third and final story in our Miss Nelson storybook during K/PREK1. Today’s story was titled, ‘Miss Nelson Has A Field Day’. Since it was a story that no one had read before, there was a lot of predictions. Our favorite character in the story is Miss Viola Swamp. We’ve talked about her personality and characteristics that make her unique.
This week, we’re focusing on two aspects of writing: punctuation and capitalization. During the kindergarteners sign in, they had to choose three sentence strips and circle the capital letters that they saw. I transferred these sentences to the chalkboard to see if children noticed a trend. After they helped me identify the capital letters, children quickly noticed that the first letters of each sentence were circled. We also talked about days of the week, months, and names as being words that we always capitalize.
K.W.6.2a: Capitalization–Capitalizing the first word in a sentence and the pronoun I.
In PREK2, children took various pictures and sorted them into three groups. The three groups revolved around the senses and what sense you would use with each picture. For example, the picture of fireworks was placed under the sense ‘hear’.
Children have asking a lot lately to help us clean! This morning, we focused on the toys in the habitrail area. Using warm water and soap, friends took turns sanitizing the animals. While cleaning up habitrail (blocks specifically), the phrase that kids love to say is, “Teamwork makes the dream work.”
Isn’t that the truth!
We saw books everywhere this morning: science area, reading area, and the music rug. Children read by themselves as well as with another peer. While most children aren’t reading at this age, they are still learning and exhibiting important aspects of literacy including turning the pages from right to left, telling the story through pictures, and identification of rhymes, letters, and punctuation.
Books also brings about our most important goal: love of learning. While reading stories, children often have questions about a character or theme that they identify and want to learn more about.
Breakfast– Whole Grain Cheerios with fresh apples.
Lunch– Ham, homemade whole wheat sheet pan pancake, fresh apples/banana, and fresh snap peas/carrots.
PM snack– Cinnamon raisin bagel with cream cheese and sliced cheddar cheese.
Wee Sprout– Fresh snap peas.
Have a wonderful night!
