Good afternoon!

We started this morning by engaging with the assorted balls! Rowan found and pulled out the big green ball and his friends joined him in throwing the balls, rolling the balls around and exploring the different textures of each ball.

Then, we played with rhythm sticks while listening to music! Rowan, Cece and another friend went around the room with their rhythm sticks, exploring the different sounds the sticks made on different surfaces.

In the kitchen, we engaged with textured sensory balls and ramps at the light table. Miss Bekah also set up a ramp that went from the light table into a bin on the floor, and Clara enjoyed watching the balls go into the bin.

Then, we headed outside the engage in our favorite activities.

Breakfast: Whole grain Cheerios with fresh oranges.

Lunch: Refried beans on whole grain wheat flatbread, fresh cucumber and fresh watermelon.

Good Afternoon!

We talked about question marks for our PREK1 sign in this morning. Before we start thinking about using question marks in our writing, we should understand what they mean and when we use them. Children answered my question, ‘What Is Your Favorite Lunch Food?’. We already knew this but the majority reinforced that PASTA is their favorite lunch food! We did have one child share, ‘They’re all my favorites!”—she was able to narrow it down and choose one .

K.W.6.2b: Punctuation—Recognizing and naming end punctuation.

We continued exploring our Halloween holiday interest in some new black and orange home made playdoh!  Several kids liked creating Halloween themed pastries.  They decorated their creations with spiders, ghosts and pumpkins making some beautiful and spooky pretend treats!

At the round table we explored a “bone dig”.  We hid and looked for bones buried in the sand.  Some kids had creative ideas for their finds.  One friend made a graveyard filled with ghosts using his excavated bones.  Another friends wanted to make a spooky Halloween garden with hers.  She planted her bones like stalks in neat rows :).

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

Breakfast: Kix cereal with fresh pineapple/banana.

Lunch: Peanut butter on whole wheat bread, fresh watermelon/clementines, and fresh bell peppers/cucumbers.

PM Snack: Whole wheat bagel with cream cheese.

Good Afternoon!

We kicked off the week by talking about the term ‘opposites’. A few friends were unsure about what opposites were so we talked about how they are completely different, contrasting each other. Each PREK1 friend got to choose a card with a word written on it. We searched the board and taped the word next to the opposite.

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

Today we were thinking about Halloween!  We tried dressing up in costumes.  We explored a sensory bin filled with eyeballs, skeletons and worms.  We arranged spiders and bats at the light table.  At the art center, we got creative with black and orange paint squeeze bottles.  Friends shared that they were making jack-o-lanterns, Halloween candy or abstract designs.  There were many ways to get involved!

Please enjoy a few more pictures from our day

Happy Friday!

We ended our week with a sign in board revolved around fall activities! PREK1 kiddos came to the board where they wrote their name under their favorite fall activity. Hannah shared, “I don’t think I can pick one..I have two favorites.”

This morning we put our leaf books together.  Several kids wanted to show the books to classmates.  They spent time going through the books with interested friends and explaining what each type of leaf in their books was called.

Later in the morning, a group of friends wanted to make treasure maps and use them in a treasure hunt game.  We got a chance to talk about landmarks and labeling using our kid spelling in order to help friends follow the maps.  Everyone had a great time with the game!

PREK2: Today in group, we each got to complete a simple pattern on the board.  We looked at the alternating colors in our pattern and tried to figure out what color should come next.

Good Afternoon!

PREK1 friends took turns coming to the sign in board where they identified the pattern on the bead bracelet. They searched for the next color in the pattern and placed the bead onto the bracelet. The pattern that children worked with was an AABCAABC pattern.

K.CA.5: Create, extend, and give an appropriate rule for simple repeating and growing patterns with numbers and shapes.

This morning we worked on creating patterns in the art center.  We offered stamps and long pieces of paper to work with.  Younger friends were able to make ABAB patterns choosing two stamps and two colors.  Older friends could make more complex patterns like AABAAB.  Some kids got creative and wanted to make their pattern extend all the way around their paper like a border.  Others wanted to see how many stamps they could fit on their paper, and so they were able to practice counting.  One older friend took the pattern into her own artwork as she drew her own small circle/large oval pattern.

Breakfast– Puffins cereal with fresh cantaloupe.

Lunch– Brown rice with shredded beef, fresh cantaloupe/pears, and fresh green beans/carrots/cherry tomatoes.

PM snack– Whole wheat crackers with peanut butter and sunflower seeds/pumpkin seeds.

Wee Sprout– Fresh carrots/peppers.

Have a wonderful night.

Good Afternoon!

This morning, we got into our “boats” and listened to some stories that Miss Bekah read to us! We started by reading “Row Row Row your Boat” then some friends asked for books that  they wanted read.

Then, we went into the kitchen and explored loose parts-color beads with a pipe cleaner to string the beads on and a pattern card to match the colors.  The younger friends found they could tap the beads together to make a loud sound.

We also swumg on our swing today! Each friend got a turn to lay on the swing while Miss Bekah gently pushed the swing.

Breakfast:  Overnight Oatmeal with cinnamon sugar mixture and bananas.

Good Afternoon!

We circled back around to patterns this morning for our PREK1 sign in. Children came to the board where they found their name and identified their pattern. When they came to the end of their pattern, they said aloud what came next. Some friends had to take color into consideration when finishing their pattern while others took color and shape into consideration. Not only were children able to explore patterns but we also worked on shape identification.

K.CA.5: Create, extend, and give an appropriate rule for simple repeating and growing patterns with numbers and shapes.

This morning, we continued working on our leaf book project.  Friends that made their pages yesterday, worked on the cover today.  We had some questions about what to title the book.  We looked at examples of books in the classroom and noticed how the title and the pictures on the front of the book tell us something about what is going to be inside the book.  We thought of our own titles that would give the reader some idea about what the book would be about.  We did the same with our illustrations.  Other kids who had not started their book, created their pages today. 

PREK2: During group today, we read the story “Patty’s Pumpkin Patch”.  After the story, we came up to the board to decide if we would like to pick a large or a small pumpkin.  Some friends were even able to express why they preferred a certain size.  One friend shared that he would choose a small pumpkin because he would like to be able to pick it up!

Breakfast: Overnight oatmeal with cinnamon and fresh cantaloupe.

Lunch: Farm fresh scrambled eggs, whole wheat flatbread, fresh cantaloupe/banana, and fresh carrots/tomatoes.

PM Snack: Hummus with tortilla chips.

Wee Sprouts: Fresh bell peppers/carrots.

Enjoy the rest of your day!
