Good Afternoon!

K/PREK1 continued our adventure into different text genres. Today, we read ‘Fantastic Bats’ and quickly, friends shouted out, “That’s nonfiction!”

Throughout the story, we learned various and interesting facts about bats. For instance, did you know that bats can fly up to 60 miles per hour? We used the speed of a car on the highway to compare.

N asked, “So the illustrator drew those pictures right?”. I told her that these pictures weren’t drawn but rather someone took photos of the bats that were highlighted throughout the story.

K.RL.3.2: Recognize familiar narrative text genres (e.g. fiction, nonfiction, fairy tales, poems).

In PREK2, each friend got a turn to identify the shape that was different in their given group. For example, when Sophia made her way to the board, she noticed that every shape had hearts on it except the first picture which had a triangle. She identified the different one by circling it!

‘Beautiful Oops’ is one of our favorite books! It is super interactive and turns ‘oops’ into beautiful creations!

Miss Annastecia took newspaper and ripped it into various sizes. Friends were invited to the table to make their own creation out of a newspaper scrape.

Breakfast– Kix and fresh pears.

Lunch– Hummus on whole wheat flatbread/tortilla, fresh pineapple, and fresh cucumber.

PM snack– Whole wheat cinnamon raisin with cream cheese

Wee Sprout– Fresh cucumbers.

Have a great evening!
