Good Afternoon,
Today’s morning activity was enjoyed by many. Magna Tiles were used as the game board, and bears were the game pieces. Just like in other board games, the players rolled the dice and moved that many spaces. Games like this are great practice for one-to-one correspondence skills.
Our Kindergarteners finished illustrating their book today. They titled the book, “Kingdom Castle.” Ms. Annastecia is going to laminate it, and then put it on display for all to read.

Happy Wednesday!
Ms. Annastecia did a special activity with the Kindergarteners. This week we are discussing the roles of authors and illustrators. The Kindergartners each got the opportunity to select a story rock with an image on it from a bag. As they each selected a rock, they were to add to the existing story. This taught the group that authors are individuals to write words to a book.
Later in the week, the Kindergarteners will draw pictures with their story contribution, thus showing them the significance of illustrators.
In the PreK2 group, we discussed the amount of sides and lengths of shapes. Each of them was assigned a shape and were given straws to copy it.
Large group did a fun I Spy Game. The focus was to practice identifying shape attributes. So Ms. Annastecia would say “I spy with my little eye…a shape that has three sides. The group would have to locate and name that shape. Each of the group members also got a chance to lead in the I Spy Game.
Breakfast: Oatmeal w/ honey & raspberries
Lunch: Eggs, whole wheat tortilla, sugar snap peas/red bell pepper, & bananas/oranges
PM: Popcorn & applesauce
Wee Sprouts: Sugar snap peas & red bell pepper

Good Afternoon,
Fab of the Week: Describe the relationship between illustrations and the story in which they appear.
MACK of the week: Children will learn to recognize and name emotions in themselves and others.
During PreK2 group time, we talked about the emotions that the characters in the book felt throughout the story. The group was able to discuss how they felt at given moments. We also worked together to put our four story cards in order of how the events took place in the book.
The PreK and Kindergarten group also discussed and identified feelings in the book Stellaluna. They created a web in their group time.
“In my world there are NO BAD KIDS, just impressionable, conflicted young people wrestling with emotions & impulses, trying to communicate their feelings & needs the only way they know how.”
-Janet Lansbury
Since we have a whole lot of new friends this fall, we are changing out our canvas display to include our new friends. Those who chose to paint today painted with white and royal ruby. To add some texture to their paintings, they used sponge brushes with scaping and rolling tools. They really experimented with how each of these tools changed their paintings, so they all turned out unique.
Breakfast: Whole wheat English Muffins w/ PB & fresh oranges
Lunch: Whole wheat pasta w/ spaghetti sauce & mozzarella cheese, carrots, & apples.
PM snack: Yogurt & raisins

Good Afternoon and Happy Monday. I hope you all had a fantastic weekend.
This morning we engaged in music and all the joy it brings. We manipulated many different musical instruments and LOVED all the various sounds that each one brought. We used shakers/maraca’s, pianos and xylophones. Wee all had a great time. 
We then had several requests for stories. One of our favorite books right now is… There’s a Monster in your Book, written by Tom Fletcher.
This book is an interactive and fun story all about a silly monster who doesn’t want too leave our book and we have to do all kinds of actions to get him to leave it. It’s a great story!

Lunch: Whole wheat pasta with shredded mozzarella cheese and marinara sauce, carrots and peas and apples.
