Good Afternoon!
In K/PREK1, we read ‘How Are You Peeling’ which is a book from our MACK selection! It is a booking focused on feelings but using fruits and vegetables. The illustrations in the story weren’t drawings but pictures so we talked about the word ‘photographer’.
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.
In PREK2, children each got to bring a toy to group from the environment. Miss Kim used the toys as focal points in the story. Once the story was read, each friend got to illustrate a page.
While we offer more guided art experiences where teachers put out materials for children to explore, lately, our older friends have been using the art area as the ultimate imagination portal.
Today, Grady drew ‘Peter Parker’. Once he was done, he created a Spiderman mask for Peter. Several friends followed this idea as various versions of Spiderman masks were created. Art materials are offered but it’s children’s imaginations and initiative that create these meaningful art experiences.

Mack and another peer helped Miss Kim make homemade blueberry muffins. Mack was in charge of the wet ingredients while his friend was focusing on the dry ingredients. They turned out great!
Breakfast– Whole grain Cheerios with fresh raspberries.
Lunch– Brown rice with shredded turkey and cheese, fresh pears/mango, and fresh pepper/green bean.
PM snack– Homemade blueberry muffins with peanuts.
Wee Sprout– Fresh cucumber/green bean.
Have a wonderful evening.
