Your child had the opportunity to try 5 different (fairly familiar) foods:
Whole Grain Crackers Carrots Fresh Pineapple Strawberry Flavored Cream Cheese Hummus On Friday, we graphed the foods we tried (not liked or disliked - I am always proud when the students try new things, even if they decided it didn't taste good). Whole Grain Cracker had the highest number of students willing to "try it" with 18/22 students willing to try. Way to go Pre-K!

We have been practicing making predictions on STEM Friday for the past couple of weeks. Once everyone in the group has made a prediction, we do the experiment and see what happens. One of the experiments we have been conducting in class is: What happens when you put a dried up marker in water.
Most of the students guessed that the water would turn the color of the marker (which I thought was a great prediction)! However...at first the green marker turned the water blue, the orange marker made the water ombre (yellow at the top and orange at the bottom), and the purple marker "looked like it was writing in the water" (as one of the students said). In the end, all of the bottles turned to the predicted color, but it was fun to watch how it got there. I am definitely a "means justify the ends" kind of person. I feel that the journey we take is more important than where we end up. I come to work excited every day to take that journey with my amazing Pre-K students! We are working very hard in Math counting using a one to one correspondence. Start with 10 pennies (or any item) and help your child work their way up to 20. My daughter Kennedy would have done just about anything for food at this age, so I used to tell her...."I'll let you have as many Cheerios as you can count". Needless to say, she learned to count in a flash and I had to abandon the food initiative pretty quickly! Live and learn :)
