Good Afternoon!

We came back around to the topic of singular and plural nouns. Children in PREK1 group read a sentence where they could choose between a singular noun and a plural noun. We talked specifically about the word foot and feet and which one is singular or plural.

K.W.6.1a: Nouns/Pronouns—Writing sentences that include singular and/or plural nouns.

Today, we continued exploring pumpkins.  We found two large pumpkins in our classroom when we came in this morning.  Some friends thought they would like to see how big the pumpkins were so they got out some measuring tapes to take measurements.  They measured the pumpkins from top top bottom and from side to side.  Some friends got to try a new way of measuring.  We found that spherical objects could be measured around the middle and this measurement was called the circumference.  Later, we all enjoyed pounding golf tees into the pumpkins with wooden mallets.  Several imaginative play scenarios popped up as the kids were working, involving building or construction. 

At the round table this morning we explored sand and loose parts.  We found we could make a range of three dimensional objects we packed sand into different shaped containers. 

Breakfast: Puffins cereal with fresh apple slices.

Lunch: Brown rice with pork/cheese, fresh cantaloupe/orange slices, and fresh snap peas/cucumbers.

PM Snack: Whole wheat crackers with peanut putter and sunflower/pepita seeds.

Wee Sprouts: Fresh cucumbers/bell peppers.

Have a lovely day!

Happy Wednesday!

This morning we cut open our pumpkin.  Miss Bekah scooped out the pulp and seeds from the inside for us to explore with our hands on our tray.  We also talked about the outside parts of the pumpkin, the stem and skin and the color of it.

Then, we went to the habitrail, found our shakers and danced along to “Shake Your Sillies Out.”

Outside, we did lots of raking! Throughout our outside time, many friends used rakes to help the big kids make a big leaf pile.

Breakfast:  Overnight Oatmeal with cinnamon/sugar mixture and fresh apple slices.

Lunch:  Farm fresh scrambled eggs, fresh watermelon slices, whole grain wheat tortillas and cooked green beans.

Afternoon Snack: Refried beans with whole grain tortilla chips

Wee Sprout: Cucumber

Have a wonderful night!

Good Afternoon!

Our PREK1 sign in focused on arrangements of items. We used stars specifically and worked on seeing how many stars were in this configuration but tried not counting them! A few friends were ready for this concept as they identified that each line had three stars and were able to add 3 and 3 together, making six!

K.NS.6: Recognize sets of 1 to 10 objects in patterned arrangements and tell how many without counting.

This morning we explored words and letters in the art center.  We rolled our playdough out on our tray.  Then, we selected a word card.  We tried creating the word with cookie cutter letters on our rolled out play dough.  Some of us created several words or our name while others made “pizza dough”.  It was a well rounded activity :).

Other kids went in their own direction.  One friend was interested in making numbers all the way around her drawing.  We got out the number chart to help.  Later, she said she had more space after ten and wondered how to write more numbers.  We got to talk about adding the number one in front and then counting back up to ten as we go through the “teens”.  It was a great example of an authentic learning experience!

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

Breakfast: Overnight oatmeal with fresh clementines.

Lunch: Farm fresh scrambled eggs and cheese, whole wheat tortilla, fresh tomatoes/broccoli/pepper, and fresh watermelon/apples/clementines.

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
