Group Meeting: We are starting a new study. We are going to be learning about boxes. Children love boxes, sometimes more than the items that come in them. Please take a few minutes to read the note.
Story: The story for today was Christina Katerina and the Box by Patricia Lee Gauch. A delivery truck brings a new refrigerator to Christina's house. Mother is excited about a new refrigerator. Christina is excited about the box. Christina and her father make the box into castle. When it tips over, she turns it into a clubhouse. When the clubhouse falls in, it becomes a race car. Christina uses her imagination to create all kinds of things with the box until it finally falls apart. Ask your child to tell you what happens next.
Letter Learning: Nn
Study: As part of our study of boxes, I will be asking the children a question every day. Today's question was "Did you use a box today?" Most of the children answered no until I asked them what they had for breakfast. Then, many realized that cereal, frozen waffles and pancakes, pop-tarts, and oatmeal all come in boxes. Tissues and crayons come in boxes. This week, we will collect various boxes to lead our discussions and guide our explorations.
Snack: The snack for today was apples, peanut butter, milk, and water.
