Happy Friday, I hope you all had a GREAT week.
Wee all LOVE Wee Sprouts! Today we very excited about coming into the kitchen for fresh Snap peas!!! Yummmmmy!!!! We gobbled them up as soon as we had them placed in front of us! 
Today is the Dramatic Play center two friends were happily engaged playing with their baby dolls. One friend says, “I am feeding my baby milk,” as she put the baby to her belly button. Meanwhile, the other friend follows suit and also starts to feed her baby.
This may be Dramatic Play, but this behavior is also a learned behavior from our friends seeing their mommies really breast feed their siblings or themselves being breast fed or even watching a mommy breast feed. What a wonderful trait to learn and carry over!
Breakfast: Whole grain brown rice cakes with cream cheese and oranges.
Lunch: Whole wheat bread with peanut butter, snap peas and pears.
Snack: Whole grain cheese crackers with cheddar block cheese.
Wee Sprouts: Cucumbers.
Have a great weekend!

Good Afternoon!
**There is a information slip attached to your child’s daily sheet today! Thanks!
Our MACK this week is: Children will learn about kindness and the power of positive words.
K/PREK1 dove into the story ‘Leonardo and the Terrible Monster’ which focuses on two main characters: Leonardo and Sam. At the beginning of the story, Leonardo wanted to scare everyone, including Sam. Sam was upset for many reasons and didn’t appreciate being scared. At the end of the story, Leonardo made a decision: he would become a wonderful friend instead of a terrible monster. We’ve read this book several times and it’s a personal favorite of our group!
Afterwards, we had an open discussion revolving around three questions that I asked the group. Children took turns sharing their thoughts and how they perceived the two main characters.
K.RL.2.1: With support, ask and answer questions about main topics and key details in a text heard or read.
In PREK2, Miss Kim started to read ‘Mouse’s First Halloween’. They read the first page of the story and will finish the rest tomorrow in group. Before journaling, they answered a question about what they think the mouse will find in the story!
Miss Kim read ‘Room On The Broom’ this morning and shortly after, she gave children the option to come to the art table where they were given the opportunity to transform into scientists!
When children sat down, they observed the materials on their tray including: worms, vinegar, purple water, corn starch, baby oil, and other fall items. There were also several different mixing options and once children surveyed what was in front of them, they began mixing their own secret potion!
A few friends quickly found out that a combination of a few specific ingredients made the mixture bubble and fizz flowed right out of the test tube!
Breakfast– Whole Grain Cheerios and fresh pears.
Lunch– Brown rice with shredded beef, fresh pears/banana, and fresh green beans/peppers.
PM snack– Graham Crackers and walnuts.
Wee Sprout– Fresh peppers.
Have a fantastic evening.

Happy Rainy Wednesday!
Today we had so much fun with movement and music. We always enjoy manipulating the shakers/maraca’s. We also had fun with the bells and small pianos.
There are several benefits to movement and music: Our friends can develop their fine/small motor skills as well as their large/gross motor skills. They can learn to express themselves and their emotions and while moving their bodies, they can improve their balance and coordination skills. It’s just one of our favorite activities! 
Breakfast: Whole grain oatmeal with honey and pears.
Lunch: Scrambled eggs with shredded cheese, corn and banana.
Snack: Blue corn chips and refried beans.
Wee Sprouts: Tomatoes
Have a great night!

Good Afternoon!
We all love a good, fun humored poetry session. Poetry allows us to play with words because most of the poetry either uses humor or the use of rhyming words. Children love being able to finish a sentence with the correct word because they know what’s coming up. I am able to authentically assess children and their knowledge of rhyming words based on whether or not they can come up with the correct word at the end of a poem.
The poetry book we read in K/PREK1 has hundreds of poems, with each page featuring a couple poems and usually a small picture. Children’s curiosity spikes based on the pictures that they see.
In PREK2, two opposites were discussed: hot and cold. Miss Kim had five pictures and before they placed them in the correct order, each child made a prediction about what picture they thought would be the hottest/coldest.
What a lovely fall morning for a walk! Children bundled up in search of colorful, vibrant leaves.
We had a specific purpose for the leaves so children got very serious about looking for beautiful leaves.
Before our art extension of our leaf walk, Miss Annastecia read ‘Leaf Man’.
After we finished reading the story, children had the opportunity to make a leaf collage! Take a look at them in the science area! Every collage is different and unique to each friend.
Breakfast– Kix and fresh oranges.
Lunch– Hummus on whole wheat tortilla/flatbread, applesauce, and fresh carrots/cucumber.
PM snack– Whole wheat bagel with butter and string cheese.
Wee Sprout– Fresh carrots/cucumber.
Have a great night!
