It is Friday!

Today’s welcome activity was a pumpkin math game. It was our first time doing it, so we just used our spinner to move our players to the next space. It was a good one-to-one correspondence activity. Our twos joined in the game with the help of their older peers.

Our Kindergarteners had a fun sign-in this morning! They went around collecting leaves in their buckets. Once they were done, they had to create a pattern using them. They created a pattern based on size and color. One of our kindergarteners collected enough leaves to spread it out all the way across the deck.

With so many leaves on the ground, the younger WF got out their own buckets to collect them. They were used to make nests and some collected them for pretend food.

**Please bring in winter clothing (a least two changes) for your child’s bathroom cubby.**

Lunch: whole wheat flatbread w/ cheese, carrots/cucumbers, & pineapple/bananas

Good Afternoon.

We want to wish one of our friends in the classroom a very HAPPY SECOND BIRTHDAY!

This morning we decorated our Halloween ghost with cotton balls.

We used a piece of sticky contact paper to place the soft and fluffy white cotton balls onto. We also took time to pull apart some of the cotton balls to make them smaller so we would have more to place onto the ghost.We had a great experience and lots of fun.

 

Breakfast: Whole grain Cheerios and apples.

Lunch: Whole grain brown  rice with shredded turkey, carrots and strawberries.

Happy Wednesday!

We had lots of Halloween fun this morning! Ms. Rebekah was kind enough to let us borrow her pumpkin bingo game. A few of our friends had a chance to play a short game yesterday afternoon, so we decided to pull it out again. We had a few more friends come to the table today to enjoy it.

Our friends have been enjoying creating with playdough so much that we decided to add a few more supplies to see what their imaginations would whip up. We were not disappointed! We had some scary monsters, bone bowls, and meat on bones. They loved showing off their masterpieces to each other and the teachers.

Both the kindergarteners and Prek2 groups discussed what charts are and what they can be used for. Our prek2 group charted their favorite costume from our Clifford book. We studied our chart to see which costume had the most/least amount of likes.

The kindergarteners created a pie chart today based on how many carnivores, herbivores, and omnivores they had chosen earlier in the week from their dinosaur book. Based on the chart, they could see that most of the selections were carnivores, and the least were omnivores.

Breakfast: Whole grain oatmeal & apples

Lunch: Farm fresh eggs, whole wheat tortilla, carrots/broccoli, & bananas/oranges

PM Snack: Air popped popcorn & raisins

Wee Sprouts: Fresh carrots & mini bell peppers

Have a lovely afternoon,

Good Afternoon.

This morning we had a dance party and it was a BLAST!!!!! We love to listen to Pandora music and this morning’s music selection had us a movin’ and a grovin’! What’s better than dancing to get our bodies in motion/movement?

We then went outdoors for a while to get some fresh air and see our friends/siblings from the preschool classroom.

Breakfast: Whole grain Kix cereal and apples.

Lunch: Whole wheat bread with hummus, peas and oranges.

Snack: Whole wheat cinnamon raisin bagels with butter.

Happy Tuesday WF Families,

Today was another day full of patterns. Our welcome activity gave our friends the opportunity to create their own pompom patterns. Our Prek2 group created their own patterns using materials they found in a bag. They selected what objects they wanted to use and formed their pattern on one side of an egg carton. Ms. Kim copied the pattern on the other side of the egg carton to reinforce the skill.

“Finding patterns is the essence of wisdom.”

-Dennis Prager

Ms. Annastecia cut a ghost figure out of contact paper and mounted it to the door. Our friends had a wonderful time pulling cotton balls apart and covering our ghost with them. It was such a simple activity, but our friends really enjoyed it.

Breakfast: Kix cereal & bananas

Lunch: Whole wheat hummus sandwiches, fresh carrots & peppers, & watermelon/oranges

PM Snack: Whole wheat bagels w/ cream cheese & watermelon

Wee Sprouts: Fresh carrots and mini bell peppers

Have a delightful rest of your day!

Happy Monday,

Our Monday was a busy one! First, we painted a giant spiderweb using our spice scented paint. It really made the house smell good!

Our Kindergarten and PreK2 group worked with patterns. Ms. Mindy made patterns out of beads for our Kindergarteners to finish. Many of them chose to fill up their pipe cleaners to create a pattern bracelet.

Our Prek2 group did their own patterns with the Unifix Cubes. Each of them was given a pattern and it was their job to finish it.

During large group Ms. Annastecia selected a well loved dinosaur book. Each of the Kindergarteners came up and picked out a dinosaur from it. They had to identify if it was a carnivore, herbivore, or omnivore. They used a Venn Diagram to chart their answers. Based on the diagram, they could tell that most of the selection of dinosaurs were carnivores.

Breakfast: Whole wheat English Muffins w/ PB & fresh pears

Lunch: Whole wheat pasta w/ beans, sugar snap peas, and watermelon

PM Snack: Whole milk yogurt & granola

Wee Sprouts: Fresh sugar snap peas

Have a wonderful evening!
