Group Meeting:  The children have been adding glass beads into a jar as we add numbers to our coconut tree.  Today, we reached number 10.  So, we wanted to know how many glass beads would be in the jar all together.  We dumped the beads onto the floor and put them into groups of 10.  We counted by 10's and had 5 left over for a total of 55 beads.

Story:  The story for today was A Chair for My Mother by Vera B. Williams.  Rosa and her mother are saving money.  They put coins into a jar every day to save up to buy a chair.  When the jar becomes full, they take the money to the bank to convert it into paper money.  They take the money to the furniture store and buy a new chair.  Ask your child to tell you why they needed to buy a new chair.

Small Groups:  The children in the Yellow Group brought items for show and tell.

Letter Learning:  The letter for today was Ll.

Snacks:  The morning snack was apples, cheese and juice brought by Ram.  The afternoon snack was applesauce and Goldfish brought by Vivienne.  Thank you, Ram and Vivienne!

Special Visitor:  The afternoon class had a special visitor today.  Ian's dad, Mr. Fah owns a moving company.   He showed us how levers, wheels, and axles make his job easier especially when moving heavy things like furniture and pianos.  Thank you very much Mr. Fah!
