MCP Moose Munch Mix

Our MWF preK students have learned a lot about moose, elk and deer. Today we are having Moose Munch Mix for our Fun Food Friday snack.  Sticks (pretzel sticks), pine cones (Coco Puffs cereal), snowballs and snowflakes (yogurt raisins and white chocolate chips), straw and hay (potato sticks) and wild berries (m & m's) put the 'fun' in Fun Food Friday. 

• Moose are the largest of the deer family.
• We do not have moose or elk in our area but a lot of white tailed deer.
• Moose, elk and deer are mammals.  They are covered with fur.
• The males have antlers.  The antlers fall off (shed) and the males grow bigger antlers.
• Moose, elk and deer are herbivores.
• Males...moose and elk are bulls.  Male deer are bucks.
• Females...moose and elk are cows.  Female deer are does.
• Babies...moose and elk are calves.  Baby deer are fawns and have spots when they are young.
• So many great vocabulary words-mammals, herbivores, shed and more.

Mr. Moose

All the Reindeer Loved Him

Today we crafted a reindeer inspired by artist,  Paula Weber.

100 Wednesday

Most Wednesdays our MWF preK students have an opportunity to count to one hundred in a small group activity during center time.  We do not expect our preschoolers to master this skill but we are introducing and practicing counting to one hundred.  In a small group, students place stickers in groups of ten.  We are also introducing how to count by tens and writing the number.

It's a giant piece of cardboard and we just keep adding to it.

What can you do at home?  Count!  Pennies, Cheerios, Fruit Loops, stickers, LEGOS, small rocks, paper clips and more!  Anything you have a lot of will work! (I'm sure we had one hundred Hot Wheels when the boys were little).  Put the items in groups of ten. Count by ones to one hundred. Count by tens to one hundred.  Have some fun counting to one hundred with your child!
