All I really need to know about how to live and what to do and how to be I learned in kindergarten. Wisdom is not at the top of the graduate school mountain, but there in the sand pile at school.
These are the things I learned:
Share everything.
Play fair.
Don't hit people.
Put things back where you found them.
Clean up your own mess.
Don't take things that aren't yours.
Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody.
Wash your hands before you eat.
Flush.
Warm cookies and milk are good for you.
Live a balanced life-learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and work everyday some.
Take a nap every afternoon.
When you go out in the world, watch for traffic, hold hands and stick together.
Be aware of wonder.
Everything you need to know is in there somewhere!

Scaredy Cat Glyphs

BubbleShare: Share photos - Craft Instructions

Happy Fall! Today K108 finished their Scaredy Cat Glyphs! We have been learning about patterns and graphs in math so I thought a fun Halloween activity would be to apply what we have learned about graphs and make glyphs. Here's the key for our glyph:
Green eyes-Girl
Yellow eyes-Boy
Red Nose-Oldest Child in Family
Black Nose-Middle Child in Family
Pink Nose-Youngest Child in Family
Number of Whiskers-How old he/she is
Fangs are present if Halloween is the child's favorite holiday-which for most of them it was! I told them that we will wait and see what they say whenever Christmas rolls around!
