No Place for Hate at LRPK!


Lucy Read participates in AISD's No Place for Hate campaign. No Place for Hate®  was developed by the Anti-Defamation League to organize schools to work together and develop projects that enhance the appreciation of diversity and foster harmony amongst diverse groups.

We always try to promote kindness and compassion in our students. Our campus makes that a little easier to understand by encouraging our preschoolers to fill each others' "buckets" with kind words and helpful actions. We'll read How Full Is Your Bucket? For Kids by Tom Rath and Mary Reckmeyer.

Reading is Fundamental!

Hello Lucy Readers,
We'll enjoy our first Reading Is Fundamental distribution of the year starting Nov. 10th!
BookSpring's RIF program is working to ensure that all children have access to books. It motivates young children to read by working with them, their parents, and community members to make reading a fun and beneficial part of everyday life.
Every child will get to take home a book...for keeps!! Hooray!! 

The theme for this distribution is  "Teddy Bears!" We'll enjoy a reading, or rereading of Goldilocks and the Three Bears and We're Going on a Bear Hunt by Michael Rosen

Falling in love with Autumn!



Hello Lucy Readers,
We've been talking about the important changes we see in the fall.





Let's Look at Autumn by Sarah Schuette
 
and Animals in the Fall by Martha Rustad
will help us learn more about that topic.  We'll talk about the important characteristics of non-fiction books: they help us learn information, they usually have photos instead of illustrations, and they have built in guides to help you find what you're looking for.
