Friday

     This morning, Essie lead us through morning meeting. As soon as that was wrapped up, Pattie came in to read to us. She first read Toot & Puddle by Holly Hobbie. This story is about two pigs, Toot and Puddle. One day Toot takes off to see the world, while Puddle decides to stay home. This is the story of their wonderful adventures both far away and right at home. It's a story about being yourself and being a good friend. 

     Then, Pattie read The Magic Hat by Mem Fox. A whirling, magical hat sweeps into a bustling park, transforming each adult it lands on into a fun-loving animal. Rhymed verses add to the humor and allow listeners to predict what will follow as the page turns. A group of delighted children takes up the path of the hat's swirling confetti, until, at last, a large, but impish wizard appears. He restores the characters to their former selves and leaves a large, spotted egg that hatches, distracting the crowd as he turns to leave. But that's not the end. Donning the hat himself, the wizard becomes a high-spirited boy, framed by starlight, kicking up sparkles.

     Later this morning, the children had Spanish with Bernie. They made animal books the children will bring home today. Everyone else on campus except for us and Ruth Ann's class went to a play today so our classes spent the rest of the morning together for buddies. The children played together indoors and out, depending on the rain. Ruth Ann's class then came down to our room for lunch. 

Be on the look out for a bright pink paper coming home today in your child's folder! :-)

Have a great weekend and don't forget to have your child wear their favorite color on Monday. We're kicking off our Dr. Seuss celebration with One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish.
