Good Afternoon!

K/PREK1 had a poetry day where we read different poems from ‘Be Glad Your Nose Is On Your Face’. Afterwards, we got on the topic of counting to 100, which lead into each friend counting to 100, 101, and 110 respectively. We’ve been working on counting by 10’s and today, friends focused on counting by 1’s in several aspects of their play.

K.NS.1: Count up to at least 100 by ones and tens.

In PREK2, children explored a St. Patrick’s Day activity where they worked with dice and a pot of gold! Throughout the activity, children demonstrated their understanding of simple addition and subtraction.

To start their day, Grady and Sophia worked with the colored bears. First, they placed them in specific spaces all around the lazy Susan. They created a circular display of bears before breaking it apart and counting the groups of bears based on color.

Snuggles and stories are a part of our every day life. But, for Evie and a peer, the stories they’re reading are making their way into their play!

They’ve been interested in the Lion King lately so we read it this morning and then they went off to go play. As they created their own game in habitrail, they became Scar and the hyenas, “because they’re bad guys!”

They used characteristics and even phrases that they heard in the book and transferred it into their play experience.

Breakfast– Kix and fresh strawberries.

Lunch– Melted shredded cheese on whole wheat flatbread, fresh cantaloupe, and fresh green beans.

PM snack– Whole wheat bagel with cream cheese and string cheese.

Wee Sprout– Fresh green beans.

Have a wonderful evening.

Good Afternoon!

Teacher Tom always has an interesting and educated point of view and while reading this blog he recently posted, I found myself nodding along at certain points.

http://teachertomsblog.blogspot.com/2020/03/we-will-emerge-from-these-interesting.html

“People who save lives are called heroes, and maybe we’ll all feel that way at some point in the future, but right now it feels more like we are plunging into an unknown forest, following a path into darkness that we hope leads back into the light. What we are left with is putting one foot in front of the other. I can do that. You can do that. Today we can do it. Tomorrow we can do it. And then one day, no one can say when just now, we will find ourselves on the other side. We will be exhausted, sore, and perhaps even injured, but we will be heroes even if it doesn’t exactly feel like it.”

Breakfast– Whole wheat bagels with butter and fresh cantaloupe.

Lunch– Whole wheat pasta with marinara sauce and shredded cheese, fresh pear/banana, and fresh carrots/cucumber/cherry tomatoes.

PM snack– Whole milk yogurt with

Wee Sprout– Fresh cherry tomatoes/cucumber.

Good Afternoon. I hope you all had a fantastic weekend.

Today we got our bodies moving and in motion with some gross motor fun.

Teachers introduced the ever popular tunnel. Friends loved crawling through the tunnel and we even worked on following a simple direction of which way to crawl through the tunnel so we didn’t have any accidents.
