Quote of the Week

“It looks like I’m going to be eating for a long time.” - Our Blue Whales really enjoy their food and talking with their friends during snack and lunch.

Patterns were the focus this week. There were so many opportunities throughout the classroom to explore patterns. We read a fun book that showed us patterns in our everyday lives. The Blue Whales used themselves and created patterns by hair color, shoe color and boy/girl.

We had a wonderful discussion about the American flag and the patterns we see on the flag. The children made their own version of the flag, and we had a Happy Veteran’s Day Parade around Southern Village as they waved their homemade flags. It was so much fun and pretty cute too. We also touched on the 50 states represented by the stars on the flag and that we live in the state of North Carolina.

The Blue Whales had a special visit from Grace’s Dad, Josh. It was so exciting to see a real soldier in his uniform and get to try on some of his equipment. Josh spent some time explaining what he does for the Army and sent the children home with a tactical glow stick. He also competed with the Blue Whales in a push up challenge. Our Blue Whales were up to the challenge. Thank you to Josh and all the men and women we honor on Veterans’ Day.

We had Guess & Tell and Greta did a great job with three clues about her item and calling on friends to guess the item. The Blue Whales were able to guess Greta’s item because of her great clues.
