Good Afternoon!
**We have a few birthdays coming up in the month of October so just another refresher about our food allergy policy: We do have a child with an allergy to all tree nuts (peanuts are okay). If you have any questions whether something is acceptable, please ask! Thank you.
**Just a reminder about Miss Charlotte’s party coming up on Saturday! It starts at 4 pm and has no set end time. There will be grilled meats and other sides (please feel free to bring a side!). If you have any other questions, please ask!

The light table was brought out today along with colored counters. Lulu started off by using comparison words such as more and less after sorting the counters into groups. I posed the question, “How many counters would you have in your hand if you had none?”. Lulu smiled and said, “Mindy! I wouldn’t have any; I would have none!”. Maxwell and a few other friends quickly joined. Max took his pile of counters and sorted them by color. He commented, “I have more red counters than I do purple ones!”.
K.NS.9: Use correctly the words for comparison, including: one and many; none, some and all; more and less; most and least; and equal to, more than and less than.
After Lulu left the light table, she made the following statement: “I want to write a book.” So, we wrote a book! Lucy quickly showed interest as well so they teamed up together. They brainstormed about what kind of story they wanted to tell; nonfiction, fiction, or fairytale. They came up with the idea of re-telling ‘Beauty and the Beast’ in their own way.
Lucy and Lulu worked together by dictating the story to me while they took on the role as illustrators. “Mindy, do you know why the dad has a frown on his face? It’s because he misses Beauty!” Lucy and Lulu focused on their own illustrations which eventually turned into a story!
We put the book together once the illustrations were complete. Lucy asked if we could read it for large group, so we did along with another telling of ‘Beauty and the Beast’. Friends noted that the two telling’s of the story were different. So, we talked about how there of often many different variations of fairytales.
K.RL.3.1 Recognize familiar narrative text genres (e.g., fiction nonfiction, fairytales, poems).
