Good Afternoon!
We’re continuing to dive into our new MACK curriculum books in K/PREK1 and today, we read ‘Good People Everywhere’ which gave several examples of good and thoughtful choices that people make throughout the day. A few children commented on the beautiful illustrations.
Yesterday at the end of group, the kindergarteners started discussing verbs and how they’re used. Today, each child picked a card that hard a verb on it. Penny assisted every friend by reading their word. Once they found out their word, they used it in a sentence!
K.W.6.1b: Verbs–Writing sentences that include verbs.
In PREK2, each child was assigned a word. They changed the first letter of their word, creating a new word! Once their new word was made, they read it aloud. Mack changed his word from ‘bus’ to ‘hus’.
The temperatures finally warmed up enough this morning to explore our first snow of the year! Friends quickly found out that a cold, snow covered slide allows them to move EXTREMELY fast! After being inside for the last several days, fresh air felt fantastic!
When we came in, friends scattered throughout the house–
Penny and a few peers requested beads at the art table. Patterns were incorporated as they created bracelets.
Evie and Daniel chose dress up costumes that were a great extension to their housekeeping play!
Grady, Mack, and David asked for math manipulatives from the shelf. They switched and shared the three different activities. They used their addition knowledge as well as their one to one correspondence skills to explore each activity.
Breakfast– Toasted Oatmeal Squares and fresh apples.
Lunch– Brown rice with shredded turkey and cheese, fresh pears/banana, and fresh carrots/cherry tomatoes.
PM snack– Miss Annastecia’s birthday treat: homemade trail mix and string cheese!
Wee Sprout– Fresh cherry tomatoes/carrots.
Have a wonderful night!
