Chickens, masks and a bird.

 We have been focusing on what happens in Kindergarten and school.

We read Chicken in School -- a chicken sets up a school on the farm. The animals talk about their favourite parts of school. (That was when we talked about our favourite parts of Kindergarten).We then read Minerva Louise at School -- A chicken leaves the farm and goes into a school - but thinks it is a barn!

 

We also read All are Welcome -- a book that embraces our diversity and reinforces the idea that we all belong. 

 

Here is a picture of our fabric bags that hold our masks. They are working so well, allowing our masks to breath a bit. If your child has a morning and an afternoon mask, we are reminding them after lunch to switch their masks. (Again -- Ms. Brown or Ms. Emerson wash the mask bags at the end of the day, every day)

  We made a new friend! A bird was just standing in our yard (it might have flown into a window, and was shocked a bit). We observed it , and then Ms. Brown moved it into a fenced area so it would be safe (it was camouflaged and we didn't want anyone to step on it!) (Ms. Brown picked it up with a kleenex and carefully carried it into a fenced area. This photo was taken when the bird was safe behind the fence. Happily, when we looked at the end of the day, the bird was gone, so it was okay, and flew away. We looked online to try to figure out what kind of bird it is. We think it is a Tennessee Warbler because of its skinny beak (it also looks like a blue headed vireo, but that has a thicker beak) When the children were asked how they would describe the bird, they said it was "green and pretty and small".

We are continuing to have fun with our velcro cylinders! Naya made a design with them.

 

Brooks enjoys role playing with animals and figurines. He makes ups detailed stories about the characters! Hopefully, we can share some soon.
