Story: The story for today was My Neighbors and Their Simple Machines. This is a non-fiction book. Ama is visiting the neighbors in her building and notices how many of them are using simple machines. The window washer is using a pulley, a lady is using a knife (wedge) to cut bread, and a new neighbor moving in is using a ramp (inclined plane). Ask your child to tell you what kind of simple machine Ama used to cut snowflakes.
Small Groups: This week, the small groups will be taking turns at the Art Table making snowflakes with diffuser paper, glitter and liquid watercolor.
Large Group: Following the story, the children experimented with some simple machines that I have in the classroom. I took a few pictures to share with you.
Letter Learning: The letter for today was Pp.
Snacks: The morning snack was apples and peanut butter brought by Brea. The afternoon snack was Belvita bars and strawberries brought by Eleanor. Thank you, Brea and Eleanor!
