Art in the Stacks March 13, 2025: Gumball Machines

Posted by kimr on

The Art in the Stacks class painted mixed media gumball machines on Thursday. They practiced blending liquid watercolor to make light and dark colors. They also discussed placement of their artist’s signature. Many decided to hide their signature in their artwork instead of the traditional corner placement.

Posted by kimr on

Up, Up, Up and Away! On Monday at Chick-fil-A Gainesville (TX) (Gainesville, TX) we read about things that fly! Then we made a 3D hot air balloon.

If you missed this story time, you can still join Chick-fil-A staff on the 4th Monday of this month at 10:30 in their dining space!

123 Muenster Pre-k February 20, 2025

Posted by kimr on

The “123 the Story is Coming to Me” program visited Muenster ISD pre-k classes this week.

Mrs. Kim read 3 books. The first introduced the kids to the library, the 2nd was a book about winter and friendship, the 3rd book was a book with no words! The kids helped her tell this story just by looking at the pictures. It was so much fun!

Each child was given a book of their own to take home thanks to the generous donation of a local sponsor.
