Happy Friday!
One of our favorite stories in our MACK collection is the ‘Tortoise and the Hare: A Fairytale To Help You Find Balance’—we read it for K/PREK1 group today. It’s the classic story of Tortoise and the Hare but with a twist. Each character lives their live very differently. The Hare moves fast in everything she does while the Tortoise takes his sweet time moving throughout his day. At the end of the story as they are finishing their race, they realize that they can take aspects of each others life and adapt it to their own life. We love the moral of the story and enjoy watching their relationship evolve throughout the story. If you’re looking to add a new book with a great story line, we highly recommend this book!
Watercolors occupied our morning! As children came to the art table, they got the opportunity to use crayons and water color on their paper. First, they drew with crayons and once they were done, they put water color over their drawing which brought out the crayon drawing! Most friends did this on several pieces of paper—we had so many creations that were done!
Several children explored the welcome activity throughout the morning. Friends took pictures of animals and sorted them into three different categories based on where the animals lived: zoo, farm, and house.
Breakfast– Brown rice cakes with peanut butter and fresh pears.
Lunch– Ham and cream cheese rollups, whole wheat flatbread, fresh watermelon, and fresh snap peas/cucumber/pepper.
PM snack– Goldfish and string cheese.
Wee Sprout– Fresh snap peas/cucumber/pepper.
Have a lovely weekend!
