Good Afternoon!
In our K group, we continued to read ‘What Should Danny Do?’. Yesterday, we decided to make all good choices to see how it would affect Danny’s day and today, we decided to make all of the wrong choices to see how his day would end up. Friends LOVE these books (super interactive!) and they enjoy making the decisions for the main character in the story to take control of the storyline.
Afterwards, we started talking about 3-D shapes. Yesterday, we identified several 2-D shapes. Today, we sorted familiar 3-D shapes into categories such as a can, an ice cream cone, and book.
K.4.1: Identify and describe geometric objects: circle, triangle, square, rectangle, diamond, trapezoid, hexagon, octagon, parallelogram, sphere, and cube.
While you’re in the science area during pick up or drop off, peak your head in to see the new canvas’s that are in the art area!
Enjoy the pictures from the rest of our day!
Breakfast– Corn Crunch and fresh apples.
Lunch– Brown rice with turkey, fresh cantaloupe, and fresh cucumber/peppers.
PM snack– Whole wheat crackers with peanut butter.

Good Afternoon!
After reading, ‘Pete the Cat and the Lost Tooth’ in K group, we played a round of memory with rhyming words! Friends did a great job at helping one another remember where certain cards were located. At the end of the game, everyone had at least one match!
This week, we’ll be focusing on the following FAB’s:
K.W.2.1: Write most uppercase and lowercase letters of the alphabet, correctly shaping and spacing.
K.RF.3.1: Identify and produce rhyming words.
K.G.3: Model shapes in the world by composing shapes from objects and drawing shapes.
K.4.1: Identify and describe geometric objects: circle, triangle, square, rectangle, diamond, trapezoid, hexagon, octagon, parallelogram, sphere, and cube.
Our MACK for the week is:
Children will practice mindfulness strategies to calm their minds, calm their bodies, and to increase their concentration and attention. Strategies can include visualization, breathing, and movement exercises.
In PREK2, children wrote their name next to a specific shape. For example, Miss Kim asked Daniel to sign next to the rectangle!
A new art project was started this morning. We are creating new paint canvas’s for the reading area wall! We love making new canvas’s each fall to represent our full class.
Here’s a heart warming Teacher Tom blog post that highlights the everyday conversations we have with children.
