We’re going to be focusing on the following FAB’s for the upcoming week:
K.RL.3.2: Define the role of the author and illustrator of a story in telling the story.
K.RL.4.1: Describe the relationship between illustrations and the story in which they appear.
K.G.4: Compose simple geometric shapes to form larger shapes (e.g., create a rectangle composed of two triangles).
K.G.2: Compare shapes using informal language to describe their similarities, differences, and parts (e.g., number of sides, length of sides, and vertices).

In large group, we read ‘The Napping House’. First, we talked about the job of the author and illustrator. After identifying the author and illustrator of this story, we started reading the book. I read the first couple of pages but then I asked the group what they thought was happening based on the pictures that they saw.
This lead in to a discussion about how the pictures that we see in a book can lead us to tell the story even if there aren’t any words! Towards the end of the book, we were talking about the pictures that we were seeing versus the words that were written on the page.
K.RL.3.2: Define the role of the author and illustrator of a story in telling the story.
K.RL.4.1: Describe the relationship between illustrations and the story in which they appear.
There were various areas of the house that were buzzing with activity this morning; two of those being the housekeeping area and art table! Lucy and Anna found a unique way to carry their baby dolls while friends at the art table used a variety of materials including paper, markers, and labels which we use as tape!
Our outside time was wonderful this morning! The sun was shining which allowed for us to explore all parts of the backyard environment.
Breakfast– Whole wheat bagel with cream cheese and pears.
Lunch– Whole wheat pasta with shredded chicken and butter, PPC apples, and fresh carrots.
PM snack– Whole milk yogurt with PPC blackberries.
