Group Meeting: A few children have started to bring in some simple machines. We will put them on the tables at arrival time and in the science area during play time for them to explore.
Story: The story for today was Hello Goodbye Dog by Maria Gianferrari. Zara has a dog named Moose. Moose loves hellos from Zara such as pets, rides in the car, and snuggles. Moose does not like goodbyes such as staying home and being in his kennel. When Zara goes to school, Moose escapes and tries to join her in the classroom. The teacher and principal do not think that Moose should be in school. What should Zara do? Ask your child to tell you how she solves this problem. I read this book today because Zara is in a wheelchair. When she gets in and out of her van, she needs a ramp (inclined plane). We talked about how inclined planes make things easier for everyone.
Study: The children used blocks to make ramps. I gave them a basket of items to put on the ramps to see if the items would move. We experimented with raising and lowering the ramps.
Small Groups: In our Writing and Drawing Journals, we drew pictures of what we would do outside if it was snowing.
Letter Learning: The letter for today was Ff. We did a "fish dance", found other picture words that began with the F sound, and traced and printed the letter F.
Snack: The snack for today was Goldfish, string cheese, and water.
