During centers the children worked on subtracting one when they made the book Ice Cream Cones. They worked on creating their own patterns when they made an ice cream project, and they enjoyed an ice cream treat for snack. It was a great day!

Ice Cream
Today was ice cream day. The children listened to the story Should I Share My Ice Cream? Gerald is excited about his "awesome, yummy, sweet, super, great, tasty, nice, cool ice cream" cone. But worry sets in with thoughts of his best friend, Piggie should he share his treat with her? As Gerald wrestles with the pros and cons, the ice cream is melting fast. By the time he decides in favor of sharing, it has melted into a puddle at his feet, and Gerald realizes that he "blew it." But timing is everything, and Piggie shows up at that moment with a cone of her own and happily shares it. "Not my plan," thinks Gerald, but he also realizes that this arrangement is fine. This book lead to a great discussion on the importance of being nice!

Bookworm Gardens
We had a wonderful time visiting Bookworm Gardens and searching for signs of spring. We toured a barn with Charlotte's web, we sat in Papa Bear's chair from the story Goldilocks and the Three Bears, we harvested vegetables, listened to a story, and danced. I have included pictures from our trip as well as a link to learn more about the exciting learning opportunities that take place at the garden. http://www.bookwormgardens.org/

Still Learning
The last two days we have continued to work hard in 4K. Yesterday we read the story Mrs. Wishy Washy. During centers the children picked the animal they liked most from the story. They then made a headband mask to go along with their character. We then used our props to act out the story.
Today we talked about watermelon. They children listened to the story The Enormous Watermelon. This story reminded us of the story Big Pumpkin that we read at the beginning of the school year. During centers the children used play doh to count seeds on slices of watermelon. They played a game with a partner called the "Bump" game. This game taught them that they might not always win, but they do need to be a good sport. We also worked on beginning sounds when we picked a letter and had to find the picture that started with the letter sound we picked.
