Good Afternoon!

In K/PREK1 group, we read, “The Invisible Boy’. It’s a new book so before we started reading, we looked at the cover and talked about the word ‘invisible’. Each group member came up with a feeling that the main character may feel at one point or another throughout the story based on the cover and their prior knowledge of the word ‘invisible’.

Throughout the story, we were able to identify every feeling that we came up with at different parts of the book! We observed Brian’s face at different spots throughout the book and how that correlated to how he was feeling.

We started a multi-step art project this morning that involved paper mache! Children were anxious to explore a new medium and create a fairly new concept! Stay tuned for the next step..

Lucy brought in stones and gems to share with her peers. Lucy, Anna, and Penny used magnifying glasses to observe the items at different angels and distances. Penny noticed, “This one has lines in it!”

“Children need the freedom to appreciate the infinite resources of their hands, their eyes, and their ears, the resources of forms, materials, sounds and colors.”
