Fairy Tales Can be Grimm!
Hello Lucy Readers!
We just finished reading Hansel and Gretel by the Brothers Grimm. Our version was adapted by Elisabet Abeyá. It included some of the stuff that can be found in traditional tales; a wicked witch, unfair and unreasonable characters, and a happy ending. Most of all, it included protagonists that refuse to give up when things get really tough. That's what I point out to my students first and foremost.

Imagine that!
Books inspire our imagination! Books about imagination really inspire our imagination!!
We'll be sharing several books that are sure to take us to new heights!
Cloud Boy * Niño Nube by Rhode Montijo is a story about a lonely cloud that uses his artistry to not be so lonely.
Si Yo Fuese Muy Delgado by Antonio Mota describes all of the things the main character would do if he was very thin!
A Mouse Told His Mother by Bethany Roberts delights us with sweet exchange at bedtime between a creative little mouse and his practical mother.
And finally, we will read Stuck by Oliver Jeffers. It's a hilarious story about a boy trying to knock his stuck kite out of a tree...at all costs!

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.

Smells like Pumpkin Soup!
Hi there Lucy Readers!
It's that time of year again. The weather is beginning to cool (well...cool for Austin temperatures), and pumpkins are ripe for harvesting.
Let's enjoy Pumpkin Soup by Helen Cooper!! (click on the title for an amazon review of the book!)
We'll meet a trio of friends that are very good at sharing. Cat, Squirrel, and Duck live together, play music together, and make their daily pumpkin soup together. They each have a special job to do and life is peaceful and happy for them. One day Duck decides he wants to try a different job and the three friends quarrel. Duck runs away in a huff and Cat and Squirrel are left to feel lonely and lost without their friend. We'll see if their friendship can help them come together once more.
