With the arrival of the heat, Mr. Morris has declared that full dress uniform is no longer required on Wednesdays. Feel free to send your students to school in their uniform shorts tomorrow.
Story Workshop
We have begun something new and exciting in Kindergarten! Story Workshop!
We are using loose parts and characters to create story scenes through play, and then adding words to our pictures to create stories. We have talked throughout the year about stories having characters, settings, and a beginning, middle and end. Now we are playing with our imaginations and creating our own stories.
Here are some of our stories so far:
Foxy had nobody to play with and then bear came and played with him. Then the moose had nobody to play with and then Foxy told the Moose that he could play with him and they went up on the big post and Foxy went on the small one.
Christy is sledding down with his child and he ran into a polar bear and he almost got aten so he went into the igloo.
It is amazing to me how creative the children are and how they can take the same materials and create something unique!
We are looking for some items to add to our story workshop materials. We would like to be able to create stories with different themes. If you have anything that could fit into one of the following themes that you no longer need, please consider donating them to our story workshop collection:
Space (Small planets, stars, astronauts, etc)
Insects (plastic bugs, artificial grass mats, flowers etc)
Fairies (plastic fairy toys)
Knights and Princesses (knights, princesses, small castles, horses etc)
Ocean (ocean creature toys, fish tank accessories )
Pretty much anything you can think of!
