This morning we brought out the water beads. The children enjoyed this sensory activity as they scooped and poured the beads into their bins and watching them bounce around.
We worked on our fine motor skills while we were tracing stencils and working to place the shape puzzle pieces on the puzzle board.
The back of the house and habitrail were full of activity as the children built with a variety of blocks, train tracks or engaged in imaginative play using the pirate ship and playground playset.
Breakfast: Corn Squares cereal and fresh blackberries.
Lunch: Hummus on whole grain wheat tortillas, oranges and red peppers.
Afternoon Snack: Goldfish crackers and peanuts.

_____________________________________________________________________
We’re going to be focusing on the following FAB’s for the upcoming week:
K.RL.3.2: Define the role of the author and illustrator of a story in telling the story.
K.RL.4.1: Describe the relationship between illustrations and the story in which they appear.
K.G.4: Compose simple geometric shapes to form larger shapes (e.g., create a rectangle composed of two triangles).
K.G.2: Compare shapes using informal language to describe their similarities, differences, and parts (e.g., number of sides, length of sides, and vertices).
______________________________________________________________________
In large group, we read ‘The Napping House’. First, we talked about the job of the author and illustrator. After identifying the author and illustrator of this story, we started reading the book. I read the first couple of pages but then I asked the group what they thought was happening based on the pictures that they saw.
This lead in to a discussion about how the pictures that we see in a book can lead us to tell the story even if there aren’t any words! Towards the end of the book, we were talking about the pictures that we were seeing versus the words that were written on the page.
K.RL.3.2: Define the role of the author and illustrator of a story in telling the story.
K.RL.4.1: Describe the relationship between illustrations and the story in which they appear.
There were various areas of the house that were buzzing with activity this morning; two of those being the housekeeping area and art table! Lucy and Anna found a unique way to carry their baby dolls while friends at the art table used a variety of materials including paper, markers, and labels which we use as tape!
Our outside time was wonderful this morning! The sun was shining which allowed for us to explore all parts of the backyard environment.
Breakfast– Whole wheat bagel with cream cheese and pears.
Lunch– Whole wheat pasta with shredded chicken and butter, PPC apples, and fresh carrots.
PM snack– Whole milk yogurt with PPC blackberries.
Wee Sprout– Fresh carrots.
Have a great night!

Happy Friday!
Our older friends were interested in spending time at the outside art table this morning. Each drew multiple colorful pictures. Sophia said she was drawing a jungle and Mack got excited and drew on more than just his paper.
Daniel fell in love with a red leaf we found in the grass! He held it in his hands to feel its texture and kept holding it up to the sky to admire it.
Aggie was in the mood for stories today. She pulled books off the shelf to look through on her own and also listened to stories other friends had picked out for a teacher to read.
Breakfast wad Kix and oranges. Wee sprout was peas. Lunch consisted of whole wheat tortilla with chicken and cheese, oranges, and peas. Afternoon snack was graham crackers and string cheese.

Good Afternoon!
We would like to wish our friend Emma a Happy 3rd Birthday! We hope you have a great day! Thank you so much for the delicious homemade chocolate zucchini bread and fresh fruit kabobs for our afternoon snack!
We painted with sponges that were 4 different shapes. They were circle, rectangle, square and triangle. We dipped our sponges in a primary color and stamped them onto our papers. Since we were using the primary colors we also got to experiment making new colors.
Some of us helped by taking the husk off the corn so we could have corn on the cob for lunch today!
Breakfast: Cranberry Almond Crunch cereal and pears.
Lunch: Whole grain brown rice with turkey, bananas/oranges and corn on the cob.
Afternoon Snack: Homemade chocolate zucchini bread and fresh fruit kabobs.
Wee Sprouts: Fresh cucumbers.
Have a great Thursday evening!

Good Afternoon!
It was all about the HEXAGON this morning!
Hexi-cards were available all morning for children to explore with! Lulu and Franklin worked together to make a pattern on the light table while Emma and Grady manipulated the hexi-cards on the island. Grady connected the hexi-cards based on matching colors. “This almost looks like a snake with two eyes!” commented Grady as he finished up.
K.4.1: Identify and describe geometric objects: circle, triangle, square, diamond, trapezoid, hexagon, octagon, parallelogram, sphere, and cube. (2006 standard)
Maddie and Lulu sat at the island and worked with rhyming clip cards. While looking at the picture, they had to clip the picture that rhymed!
K.RF.3.1: Identify and produce rhyming words.
In large group, we read ‘One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish’. As I read, there were times where I stopped at the last word of the sentence and children filled in the missing word. They used context clues and came up with the rhyming words!
Miss Melinda’s music time this morning was beyond engaging!
First, children who came to the music rug worked on rhythm patterns and tonal patterns. Then, we walked around the house; Miss Melinda played the drum and we marched to the beat! We switched between fast movements and slow movements. We even had to freeze and ‘strike a pose’! Not only were friends engaged musically but we also got to get up and move our bodies in a positive way!
Breakfast– Whole grain oatmeal with PPC blueberries.
Lunch– Homemade egg salad on whole wheat bread, PPC grapes, and fresh cherry tomatoes.
PM snack– Banana and air popped popcorn.
Wee Sprout– Snap peas.
Have a lovely night.
