Group Meeting: This week, we have been starting our group meetings by talking about things that make us happy. Everyone gets the chance to tell about something that is making them happy. We have a lot to be happy and thankful for.
Story: The book that I read today was If Rocks Could Sing by Leslie McGuirk. I started at the back of the book with the picture of the author. Leslie McGuirk search the Florida beach by her home looking for rocks that were shaped like letters and familiar items. She put them together to make this alphabet book. For example, the letter B is rock shaped like a lowercase b along with a bird shaped rock. It was fun to read through the book and decide if we could figure out the shape that went with each letter.
Letter Learning: The letter for today was G.
Large Group: The children watched a video that explained how rocks are formed. This was a children's video which described the forms in simple language. Igneous rocks are formed from volcanic lava. Metamorphic rocks are made when the earth moves causing the rocks to be pushed and pulled. Sedimentary rocks are formed when water and wind moves the rocks. While I don't expect the children to remember the names, they could tell me different ways rocks are made.
Snack: The snack for today was Sun Chips, milk and water.
