All About Me Week

We took advantage of the beautiful day today and took a walk around the school. We talked about the things that are "living" and "non-living." We learned that things that are alive require food, water and air. Tomorrow and Thursday we'll be making picture charts of living and non-living things and we have a story to read about those things.

Also, I just wanted to let you know that if you see a project made by other children but not by your own, it may be that your child simply chose not to do the project or that they weren't in class on the day we did the project. Teacher Denise and I believe that the kids should never be forced to do things they don't want to do, such as art projects. We encourage it and give them several opportunities to do the project and then if they still choose not to, we don't push the issue. A perfect example is the "What I like" booklet we've been working on this week. Not all children will have a page in the book because some of them were just having too much fun playing with friends to stop and make their page. :-)

I updated the "Individual Photos" album with the rest of the kid's pictures today. I think I only have one child I haven't gotten yet. :-)



Also, I added another new album today: All About Me Week - Tuesday, Sept 11.
