Happy Monday!
First, we want to wish a happy 3rd birthday to Ellie! We are so glad that we got to spend the day with you to celebrate your birthday.
Also, a big happy birthday to Miss Annastecia! It was a day full of laughter and celebrations!
After we read our story for K group, friends got to create their own addition problem. There were several cards facing down and they picked two cards to place into the addition problem. Once they added the two numbers together, they wrote the total on the line.
K.CA.1-2: Solve real-world problems, objects, or drawings that involve addition and subtraction within 10. Demonstrate the equation (e.g., 5= 2 + 3 and 5= 4 + 1).
In PREK2, children answered a specific question and after Miss Kim wrote their answer down, they wrote their names underneath their answer. One of the questions was, ‘What would you do if you had a pet turkey?’
The morning was full of children scattering to various places within the environment. Lately, a few of our younger children have been exploring the art table and simply using paper and markers.
Several fine motor building activities were explored. Mack and Franklin worked together to complete the colorful pattern blocks while James and Evie built with magnatiles.
It was quite the chilly morning but we didn’t mind—the fresh air and sunshine were great!

Hello!
Our kindergarteners sign in and K group exercise matched up as we dove into verbs, specifically action verbs!
During their sign in experience, they had a word bank of four action verbs that they had to plug into a sentence that made the most sense. They used the context clues throughout the sentence as they chose what action verb to insert into the sentence.
We took it one step further in K group as we read five sentences and worked together to identify the action verb in each sentence. Every group member was able to identify the action verb after I read the sentence!
K.W.6.1b: Verbs– Writing sentences that include verbs.
In PREK2, Miss Kim read the story titled, ‘Thankful’ which lead into their message board. Children answered the question “What or who are you thankful for?”
“It’s the sort of thing caring adults too often do: the kids were working together to solve a kind of puzzle, but they were robbed of an opportunity for independence, collaboration, and perhaps even epiphany by a well-intended adult.”
I found this short Teacher Tom blog post today that focuses on giving children the opportunity to explore new things and situations, instead of giving them the answers or ‘bursting their bubble’.

Lunch– Brown rice with shredded chicken, fresh oranges/apples, and fresh pepper/cucumber.

Good Afternoon and Happy Veteran’s Day!
This morning Nesta and I were playing with the pegs and their boards that have specific shapes to them. We were working on the heart shaped board and Nesta kept calling it a star. That led she and I into a more detailed conversation about shapes.
I drew various shapes on a piece of paper and we worked on telling the difference of what those shapes actually were. I was very happy and surprised Nesta was so interested. 
While Miss Rebekah was reading stories to our friends, the song/story, there were ten in the bed… came into conversation.
Miss Bekah got out our fun big comfy pillow so that we could all act out the song by rolling off of the pillow. We had a GREAT time. (There were ten in the bed and the little one said, roll over… roll over!)
Breakfast: Whole grain rice Chex cereal and oranges.
Lunch: Farm fresh scrambled eggs with shredded cheddar cheese, carrots and apples.
Snack: Whole wheat Ritz crackers with cream cheese.
Have a lovely evening.

Good Afternoon!
First and foremost, we want to send out a big happy 4th birthday to Daniel! We are so glad we got to spend your 4th birthday with you!
The kindergarteners had to write the number that came before and after a specific number this morning for their sign in . For example, they wrote the numbers 12 and 14 as they came before and after the number 13 that was the focus. This theme rolled over into our K group time where children got the opportunity to write a number that was missing in a number line from 0 to 20.
K.NS.3: Find the number that is one more than or one less than any whole number up to 20.
In PREK2, children worked with addition problems, specifically when adding 1 to a number.
Check out the pictures from the rest of our day!
Breakfast– Whole grain oatmeal with honey and fresh apples.
Lunch– Farm fresh scrambled eggs with shredded cheese, whole wheat tortilla, fresh cantaloupe/oranges, and fresh broccoli/snap peas.
PM snack– Daniel’s birthday treat: pretzels and popcorn.
Wee Sprout– Fresh snap peas/broccoli.
Have a wonderful night!

Good Afternoon!
We read, ‘There’s a Wocket in my Pocket!’ in K group. During kindergarten sign in, we focused on creating word families so that lead our group chat today. After we finished up the story, we created three different word families that focused on the words wit, candy, and pin. We identified the similarities in each word family such as ‘in’ in the pin word family.
K.RF.3.5: Add, delete, or substitute sounds to change words.
In PREK2, children created a rhyming word with their name! They talked about rhyming words and how you can create a rhyming word by removing the first letter of the word and replacing it with another letter.
The rest of our morning revolved around activities such as magnatiles, art easel, art table, and puzzles. And yes, we did get out some holiday toys for the housekeeping area!
We tried to spend as much time as possible outside today! We’ve been LOVING this weather so far this week and aren’t that excited to see colder temps come in the days ahead.
Breakfast– Corn Chex and fresh apples.
Lunch– Hummus on whole wheat tortilla, fresh cantaloupe, and fresh broccoli/carrots.
PM snack– Whole wheat bagel with peanut butter and block cheddar cheese.
Wee Sprout– Fresh carrots/broccoli.
Have a lovely evening!
