Little Orchard Book Club

We immerse ourselves in our book of focus each month. Through art, dramatic play, cooking projects, and more! All activities are designed to help bring our story to life. At the end of each month we celebrate with a themed event or special school project.

Fairy Tales by Once Upon a World

Making nature crowns and wands as we act out our favorite fairy tales.

"Kindness Quilt" by Nancy Wallace

Kindness and kind acts contributes to tolerance and peace in the world.

Learning about, and practicing, kindness opens communication and meaningful dialogue that can maintain or create harmonious relationships and communities.

"Dragon Dance" by Joan Holub

As our school prepares to celebrate Lunar New Year we enjoy this story of outdoor markets for fresh flowers, eating New Year's dinner with the whole family, receiving red envelopes from loved ones and watching the spectacular Lunar New Year's parade!

"The Hungry Caterpillar" by Eric Carle

A special caterpillar feast inspired by the beloved 1969 classic.

"Fry Bread: A Native American Family Story" by Kevin Maillard

We made the recipe from our story of focus, and ready to fry!

"Henri's Scissors" by Jeanette Winter

A young boy named Henri-Emile Matisse drew pictures everywhere. An illness confined him to a wheelchair, but amazingly it was from there that he created among his most beloved works—enormous and breathtaking paper cutouts.
