Good Afternoon!
We continued on with chapter 7 in Charlotte’s Web in K/PREK1! The chapter was titled ‘Bad News’. Before we started reading, we brainstormed what the bad news could be. Someone shared, “I think the bad news is that Wilbur dies..”. Towards the end of the chapter, Wilbur learns that Ferns uncle and aunt are planning to kill him for meat! Friends reiterated their guesses from earlier in the session.
Afterwards, we identified the four main characters so far in the story and personality traits of each character. We’ll add to the list as we continue to read.
In PREK2, friends played letter bingo where they identified letters by placing counters on the letters that Miss Kim said aloud.
The rest of our Tuesday was full of a sensory experience and some quality outside time!
We hope you enjoyed your Tuesday!
Breakfast– Whole Grain Cheerios with fresh pears.
Lunch– Hummus on whole wheat flatbread, fresh watermelon, and fresh cucumber.
PM snack– Whole wheat bagel with cream cheese and string cheese.

Have a great evening!

Happy Monday!
In K/PREK1, we continued reading ‘Charlotte’s Web’. We were excited to hear that Franklin had been reading it along with us from home! We started in on chapter 6 today. Before we dove into the chapter, we discussed what happened in chapter 5 on Friday.
The book is proving to increase our vocabulary skills (and comprehension!) as there are several words that we have not heard of before and children are quick to ask what new words mean.
In PREK2, friends played ka-boom. Each friend got a turn to pull a popsicle stick and identify the letter that was written on the stick. If anyone pulled the KA-BOOM stick, everyone had to put their stick back in and start all over.
At the art table, friends gathered as Miss Annastecia read ‘I Ain’t Gonna Paint No More!’. Afterwards, children chose to paint with either a ribbon or a feather! The strokes were much different than a regular paint brush which peaked our interest.
Week by week, we’re getting a few friends back—our classroom has that ‘almost back to normal’ feeling. We can’t wait to be reunited with all of our friends who are still at home, spending time with family.
We miss you and appreciate EVERYONE as we continue to navigate our new normal (at least for the time being 
).
I found this and wanted to share as the message is simple but complex at the same time:
“Above all else, recognize that you have nothing to lose by making others feel worthy of love.”

Good Afternoon!
We’ve been talking about places in our community this week in K/PREK1. We are quite familiar with Miss Charlotte’s farm (we’re missing it a lot!) so we combined the FAB for the week and what we’re reading in Charlotte’s Web. We discussed farms in general: what they look like, smell like, etc. as well as what they contribute to the community as a whole. Grady said, “Red!”. I asked further what he meant by red and he responded, “Red! All barns are red. I haven’t seen one that isn’t!”.
Friends also worked together to pick a character that we’ve read about: Fern! Children identified a few characteristics about Fern and we wrote them down. We’ll chose another character tomorrow and keep adding to the list when we learn new things about each character.
Several friends were elated to find out it was music morning on our Facebook Live! Children used colorful scarves as they danced and twirled around. Evie let Miss Annastecia know that, “I’m really really good at spinning.”
Breakfast– Corn Chex and banana.
Lunch– Brown rice with shredded chicken, fresh apples, and fresh cucumber.
PM snack– Almonds and whole wheat crackers.
Wee Sprout– Fresh cucumber.
Have a wonderful night!

Good Afternoon!
We continued reading ‘Charlotte’s Web’ in K/PREK1. Before we started in on chapter 2, we recapped what happened in chapter 1 and Grady was quick to ask, “It’s called CHARLOTTE’S Web. We haven’t met Charlotte yet!”. Penny told him that we’d be meeting Charlotte shortly!The author of Charlotte’s Web uses very descriptive language and friends point out how specific events in the story make them feel.
Afterwards, we looked at our list we made yesterday of the places in the classroom environment. We identified the places in our classroom by writing the names of the different areas.
Social Studies: K.3.3 Locate and describe places in the school and community.
In PREK2, children created a 3-D map where they added different locations within the community such as a baseball stadium, pool, and a park.
Miss Annastecia lead a yoga session after reading a book for our Facebook live session! Evie and Penny were great demonstrators and really took advantage of this quiet, intentional time.
We enjoyed the sun as well as the shaded areas that our backyard environment offers! Thankfully, there was a nice breeze while allowed children to disperse into several different areas of the yard.
Breakfast– Whole Grain Cheerios with fresh pineapple.
Lunch– Peanut butter on whole wheat bread, fresh pears/strawberries, and fresh snap peas.
PM snack– Whole wheat bagel with cream cheese and block cheese.
Wee Sprout– Fresh snap peas.
Have a great evening!
