Good Afternoon!

In PREK1 group, we read, ‘A Tale of Two Beasts’ from our MACK curriculum. The story revolves around two characters and they each get to narrate their version of the story, which end up being vastly different. Throughout the story, we talked about the narrator and how they were feeling at that time while predicting what may come next.

K.RL.2.4: Make predictions about what will happen in a story.

PREK2: At group we read the non fiction book “Apples” which goes through the process of how apples are grown, picked and shipped to grocery stores. We talked about where we get apples. Some friends get them from grocery stores. Others have gone directly to an apple farm to pick the apples. After the story we were asked what happens first. Do we pick the apples first or eat the apples first? This helps us to begin to list events in order.

Today we made apple sauce with freshly picked organic apples! Our older friends helped cut apple slices into smaller pieces using a butter knife. It was a surprise to see how many they cut up. They diced the whole pot! Some younger friends who were interested in trying were able to help slice a few pieces as well. In the afternoon we used the “sauce master” to sauce the apples. Everyone was very interested in how the machine worked and how it was put together, so everyone watched it assembled piece by piece. Everyone got a chance to ask questions about how it worked. Then everyone got a chance to help turn the crank and watch the apple sauce come through the screen.
