Good Afternoon!

This morning we explored using clear plastic tubing of different lengths and sturdy cardboard tubes to create and build using the loose parts.  Friends were very excited to see that the clear plastic tubes can go all the way through the cardboard tube. Everyone was very creative with the choices of loose parts they decided to use.  Nesta worked on creating patterns with Miss Bekah and made ABAB patterns using the color beads on her clear tubing.

During outside time, the trucks down by the little house were very popular with many friends.  They put Little People in them and drove them around the cement paths. They also like to place pieces of mulch in them to make them hauling vehicles.

A friend also found a roly poly while looking for bugs and was following it as it moved with her finger.

Breakfast:  Overnight oatmeal with cinnamon and fresh pears.

Lunch:  Farm fresh scrambled eggs, whole grain wheat tortilla, fresh oranges and green beans.

Afternoon Snack:  Whole grain wheat flatbread with peanut butter.

Wee Sprouts:  Cucumbers.

Have a lovely evening!

This morning we engaged with markers to draw in our journal binders.  Friends enjoyed flipping through their binders to find a blank page for them to create their colorful drawings.

During outside time, friends were busy exploring and looking to see what they could find in the sandbox and cracks in the cement.  They have very good eyes for finding the tiniest rock or bug.

To kick off our short week, we focused in on the individual spaces that we have in our indoor environment! Children wrote as many as they could recall.

Later on in K group, we read, ‘Arthur’s Reading Race’. During the story, Arthur and his sister D.W. headed out into the community to look for words. After we finished reading, we created a web and identified the places that they visited in the community.

Once we were done listing all of the places they had visited, we added a few of our own that we visit within our community!

Social Studies: K.3.3 Locate and describe places in the school and community.

In PREK2 group, children wrote their name next to a given place in the community. Afterwards, talked about each place within the community.

A few friends have shown interest lemonade stands so today, the Wee Friends lemonade stand opened!

First, a few of our older friends sorted coins into four groups: penny, nickel, dime, and quarter.

Once the coins were sorted, we went over some basic rules before diving into our lemonade stand!

Children used the lemons, pitchers, money, and signs to sell lemonade to their friends!

Breakfast– Quaker Oatmeal Squares with fresh apples.

Lunch– Melted shredded cheese and refried beans on whole wheat tortilla, fresh oranges, and fresh cucumber/broccoli.

PM snack– Whole wheat cinnamon raisin bagel with cream cheese and block cheddar cheese.

Wee Sprout– Fresh cucumber/broccoli.

Have a wonderful night!

Good Afternoon!

In K group, we read ‘A Tiny Seed’ which is a book written by Eric Carle. He’s a classic favorite of children and since he passed away yesterday, we decided to read a book of his as a way to “honor him” (the kids words, not mine!).

When I mentioned to K group that he had passed yesterday at the age of 91, a few friends spoke up with the following comments:

“He was 91? He was almost 100 years old!”

“Does that mean he won’t write anymore stories?’

___________________________________________________________________________________________-

We explored various types of maps this morning: a map of our indoor environment which was a K group activity and a map of the outdoor environment which the PREK2 kids explored. They loved challenging one another by hiding treasure and seeing if their peers would find it!

Breakfast– Kix and fresh strawberries/cantaloupe.

Lunch– Brown rice with shredded beef, fresh pineapple, and fresh broccoli.

PM snack– Graham crackers, fresh kale salad, and sunflower seeds.

Good Afternoon!

This morning we engaged in some more new educational activities.  These activities enhance our creative thinking and imaginative skills as we use a variety of loose parts to stack on a balance and other wooden peg boards.  We can also use our imaginations to find ways to use the loose parts all by themselves.

We then engaged in a fun painting and sensory activity.  We first used a loofa to paint our white cardstock paper using light and dark green tempera paint. We then used brown to make animal prints.  The animals we chose from were dinosaur, dragon, and  lion.

We then headed outside to enjoy the beautiful weather.  We have some new bikes that our friends loved riding down the hill.

Breakfast:  Corn Chex with fresh oranges.

Lunch:  Whole grain brown rice with shredded mozzarella cheese, fresh apples/oranges and carrots.

Afternoon Snack:  Whole grain ritz crackers and sunflower seeds.

Wee Sprouts:  Fresh carrots/cherry tomatoes.

Have a great night!
