A Prelude to Light and Shadow Play: Imagine the Possibilities
It's hard to remember everything....
...so we are each making checklists. Coats, backpacks, sweaters, and other layers should be coming home more regularly. In addition to the reminders we give children at school, please continue to remind your children to wear everything they came to school with home and to store things such as hats, scarves and gloves neatly in backpacks, or coat pockets.
Enjoy these photos of children creating checklists.
Buddy Time
Through this activity, each child took turns pulling from a deck of pictures cards. Printed on each card was an image and a label. The children practiced taking turns pulling from the deck of cards, asking one another if they liked, disliked or loved the particular topic presented by the card, and then dependent upon their answer placing each card in a shared or private space of their diagram. If neither child expressed fondness over the card presented, they pasted it outside of the diagram where it floated...in a phantom zone of sorts.
Here are some images of children working alongside their buddies.
