Good afternoon!

This morning several kids were interested in the process of setting up a new “Bio-active” fish tank.  We added aquatic soil, water and live plants to the aquarium this morning.  We also added its first residents, some snails.  We got into some interesting conversations during this process.  We talked about the similarities and differences between fish and people.  We learned that fish and people are both vertebrates, meaning we both have back bones, while the snails are invertebrates because they have no bones.  We also learned that some kinds of aquatic plants in our tank root in the soil at the bottom of the tank while other float on top and let their roots hang in the water.  Later, we set up a water activity so kids could explore “aquarium play”.

We hope you enjoy a few more pictures from our day!

Breakfast: Puffins cereal with fresh pineapple.

Lunch: Peanut butter on whole wheat bread, fresh banana/honeydew melon/mango, and fresh cucumbers/carrots.

PM Snack: Cassie’s birthday treat: homemade pumpkin muffins with cheese.

Wee Sprouts: Fresh peppers/cucumbers

Have a wonderful day!

Happy November!

This morning we engaged in a sensory experience exploring the pulp and seeds we scooped out from our pumpkin.  We used our hands to remove the seeds from the pulp or a spoon to scoop them up into our cup or bowl.

Then we headed outside.  We engaged in the rock area with the shovels and construction trucks, went down the slide, pushed bikes up the hill or rode them down, worked on our balance while walking on the balance beams and walked around the yard, holding hands with friends.

Breakfast: Whole grain wheat bread toast with butter and cinnamon sugar mixture and fresh oranges.

Lunch: Whole grain wheat pasta with black beans and shredded mozzarella cheese, fresh pineapple and cooked broccoli.

Afternoon Snack: Whole milk yogurt with fresh apple slices.

We kicked off the week by practicing to count by 10’s! Our two kindergarteners came to complete their sign in activity that required them to write the first number. As they filled in the missing numbers, they figured out quickly that each number increased by 1, making 10, 20, 30, etc.

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

Our PREK1 group came to sign in where they had to determine whether the noun should be singular or plural based on the context clues. All three children wrote their name under dog, since it correctly completed the sentence.

K.W.6.1a: Nouns/pronouns– Writing sentences that include singular and/or plural nouns (e.g. dog/dogs, cat/cats).

Two friends asked to make some new playdough so they helped me measure, mix the ingredients, and choose the colors!

Enjoy a few more pictures from our outside time!

Breakfast– Whole wheat toast with butter/cinnamon and banana.

Lunch– Whole wheat pasta with shredded turkey, fresh mango/banana/pineapple/pear, and fresh cucumber/cherry tomatoes.

Good Afternoon!

Our two kindergarteners headed outside where they did a scavenger hunt, searching for their three sentence strips. Six sentence strips were hidden throughout the backyard, three for each child. They brought their strip to the garage where they sorted it into the correct group: exclamation mark, question mark, or period. The ending punctuation mark was missing on their sentence strips so they filled in each space with the correct one. They had a blast running throughout the backyard, helping one another find their sentence strips.

K.W.6.2b: Punctuation– Recognizing and naming end punctuation.

Our PREK1 group friends came to the board where they were asked to sort the items in the array by similarity. One friend was asked to circle the letters, another was asked to circle the shapes, and the other was asked to circle the numbers. They each used a different color marker to group their items.

K.RV.2.2: Identify and sort pictures of objects into categories (e.g. colors, shapes, opposites)

This morning, we carved out class pumpkin.  We removed all of the seeds so we could roast them and taste fresh baked pumpkin seeds during snack time.  Everyone was excited to get a turn to pull the seeds out of the pumpkin, although some ended up enjoying their turn more than others .

Several kids enjoyed some Halloween colors to paint with in a variety of ways at the art center.

PREK2: During group, we read “The Pumpkin Patch” which explained how pumpkins were grown and sold on farms.  The kids practiced their recall as they tried remembering something they learned in the story.

We hope you enjoy a few more outdoor pictures!

Breakfast– Toasted oatmeal squares with fresh pears.

Lunch– Brown rice with shredded chicken, fresh honeydew melon/pears, and fresh cherry tomatoes/snap peas/cucumber.

Good Afternoon!

We offered an ice melting experiment at the round table this morning.  It was based on one of our older friends haring about his interest in the “three states of matter”.  We decided to explore those states.  Kids used warm and cold water to melt the ice.  They made observations like “the water was making a hole in the ice” and “the purple water (warm water) works better than the blue”.  One friend predicted it would take “ten days” to melt the ice, which luckily did not turn out to be the case

Kids of all ages took part in a sensory/imaginative play activity at the round table.  Kids explored utensils and natural materials, creating cooperative play schemas using their imaginations.

We hope you enjoy a few more pictures from our day!

Breakfast– Overnight oatmeal with cinnamon and fresh pears.

Lunch– Farm fresh scrambled eggs with homemade honey oatmeal muffins, fresh golden kiwi/apples, and fresh green beans/cherry tomatoes/pepper/cucumber.
