Large group
For our large group session, we started by singing the good morning song. Purple was our color for this week as well Rhombus was our shape for the whole week. Participating in the circle time calendar activity strengthened our time management skills, and sharing about our days allowed us to connect with one another. It was a week filled with learning, being respectful, creativity, and friendship.
Literacy
For our literacy session this week, since most of our kids had traveled, they were all telling us about their trip, and their break, so we spent all our small group discussing about the kids’ trip and the thing what we have been doing for the winter break for Christmas and New Year with the rest of the kids that were staying with us.

Math
For our math session we were revising what we have been doing for the past weeks which was addition, subtraction and for the kids that came from Pre-K we let them sort out numbers by counting and matching them with their specific numbers all the kids were happy to revise it and were engaged as well as were doing all the things in a group.

Science
This week for our science session we revised what we did previously which was the firework using oil, food colors and water and the kids have been asking to do again this activity and they were happy that we did the activity again and they were as excited as they were for the first time and the results were amazing and the kids had fun while doing the experiment and were also doing it in a group and the way they were waiting for each other to mix the food color and the oil as well as waiting for their turn to pour it in the cup. It was nice to see them help each other out.
