Group Meeting:  Our handshake for this week is the Saw Handshake.  Pretend you are a lumberjack and try this with your child.

Story:  The book that I read today was Pull, Lift, Lower: A Book About Pulleys by Michael Dahl.  This nonfiction book gave us several examples of how pulleys are used.  A few examples were pulleys on a flag pole, on window blinds, and on an elevator.  Ask your child to look around your home or neighborhood to find pulleys in action.

Small Groups:  The children were invited to go to the art table to experiment with different thing with which to paint.  They tried a potato masher, a fork, a dish scrubber, a foam roller, and a foam mop.  

Letter Learning:  The letter for today was Vv.  We danced like volcanos and traced and printed the letter Vv.

Study:  I had several examples of simple machines for the children to try; a inclined plane, a gear, a wheel, and a pulley.  Tomorrow, we will try to build a pulley to lift things in the classroom.

Snack:  The snack for today was canned peaches, milk and water.

AM book:  No Kimchi For Me! by Aram Kim brought by Malia 

PM book:  Little Penguin Gets the Hiccups by Tadgh Bentley brought by Aurora
