Good Afternoon!

This week in PREK1, one of the FAB’s that we’ll be exploring deals with text genres! Today, we read ‘The Day The Crayons Quit’ which quickly lead into a conversation about how it’s a fiction book because, “Crayons can’t talk!” and “Crayons can’t write letters!”. Throughout the week, we’ll dive into each text genre and explore what each genre offers.

K.RL.3.1: Recognize familiar narrative text genres (e.g. fiction, nonfiction, fairytales, and poems).

This morning we enjoyed a loose parts welcome activity.  The activity encouraged sorting and matching, but was open ended to allow for imaginative play.  Several friend found the matching rings and wanted to sort and organize by color.  Others wanted create an imaginative game around it.  Some friends pretended the pieces were little people…or in one case bunnies… and the buttons were their plates.  Some built little homes for them from the wood trays.

We all are enjoying the fresh warm unseasonable air!  We spent lots of time outdoors this morning!
