What wonderful sea of pink that we were! We had 18 people remember to wear pink shirts!
This morning we began our day with this quote on the board, "The tongue has no bones, but is strong enough to break hearts".
As a group we discussed what we thought it meant. In the beginning many of the children were thinking quite literally and could not get past a "real tongue" crushing a plastic heart". Eventually the students ( on their own) came to understand the "mean words will hurt someones feelings". We extended the conversation to include how the strong the tongue can be in preventing bullying. I encourage you to read this quote to your child again tonight and have a discussion. Post your thoughts to the blog.
Today was our last visit with "Stan the Man". Today we worked on sequencing a two animals into a story. It has been amazing to see how quickly our confidence has grown as well as our skills level. We will be excited to show you our work at the next conference.
AM KINDERGARTEN TOMORROW!!!
We will be going on an all day field trip to the zoo on Thursday March 5th. We will need 5 volunteers. If you would like to volunteer please email me at [email protected].
