Puppets, creating out of
natural materials and clay, writing stories, and the beginning of an animal
project were just a few things this week had in store! Our children were
engaged and enthusiastic! See next blog post for more about the puppets.
“Why don’t we take better
care of our earth?”
“Why don’t animals get to
decide what happens to them?”
“What do wild animals need
to be safe?”
The students’ questions
have started a project! There are habitats being made, books being researched,
conversations happening and dramatic family animal play. We looked to National
Geographic Kids for some clips of animals in the wild and the environment
needed for them to be healthy. We also found out there are only 200 white
tigers left in the world, which made us sad and more dedicated to this project!
More to come!
Arian’s grandfather, Percy
Shroff, has written a series of children’s books and he read two of them to us.
Percy has left a copy of the series here in the classroom, so please feel free
to browse through the books next time you are at school.
