We had quite a busy week and it has taken me some time to get back to the blog. It was nice to see almost everyone back to school and in good health. It seems like forever since I've seen all of the children smiling back at me on the same day. Speaking of "all the children," we have a new student in our class. Your own child has already probably told you all about her and the fact that she is from Japan and only speaks Japanese. It is amazing to see one so young have the courage to be plunked down in a completely foreign culture and still smile and play and laugh. This speaks loudly about your children and how they have opened their hearts and their classroom to this new student. They have also taken it upon themselves to help teach her what to
do, where to go, etc. They have certainly made me proud!
Here are some pictures of some of the other things that have been keeping us busy. We read, "If you Give a Dog a Doughnut" and then made some doughnuts of our own, both real and pretend.
Our Owl craft went along with the story, "Owl Babies". The children absolutely loved this story and, after a class-wide vote, decided Bill was their favorite owlet!
If you haven't read this book, you should; it will make you smile.
I love this post!
