we think that even without us telling you, you will know if this person likes bananas:

and we think you will know if THIS person likes bananas:

we learned about the “no” symbol and i drew some signs that i thought would be familiar to the preschoolers.  turns out, no one knew what the “no smoking” sign was until i told them.  and this was a chance to show that even grown ups might not know how to draw a dog.

then using our paper supplies, we colored our bananas (“kindergarten style”) and showed if we liked them or not…no words needed!

following our banana work, we sang “apples and bananas” and did some vowel work.  wow, that song gets silly.  our preK afternoon class also read “going on a bear hunt” before we went on a vowel hunt.  but we read it “chapter book” style which felt really grown up.  i drew a book on our calendar to help make sure we didn’t forget to read “chapter 2.”

watch out kindergarten, it’s only october and these kids know their vowels!
