Look Out Kindergarten, Here I Come!

We have been waiting for this special day and now it is finally
here. We are in Kindergarten! In just three short weeks we have
experienced so much. From exploring and learning to making new
friends, Kindergarten holds so many surprises. To help us get
comfortable with this new adventure we read many wonderful books
about going to school. A favorite story was “The Kissing Hand.”
Little Chester raccoon discovers that it is o.k. to miss his mommy
and home, but that school is a place where there are many special
people who care for us also. After reading the story we went on a
hunt and by following the clues in Chester’s notes we met many
great workers at school who will be here to help us learn and grow.
On our way back to the classroom we discovered Chester’s paw prints
in the hall. He had left a special letter for us and some wonderful
treats to enjoy. What fun! We also painted a keepsake gift for our
parents to comfort them when they are missing us. We made magic
playdoh to remind us of the magic ahead as we learn in school. We
also enjoyed learning many facts about bears. We heard stories,
sang songs and rhymes and had teddy bear games. We made bear
puppets and acted out “¬¬¬¬¬¬Goldilocks & the Three Bears.” We
enjoyed a teddy bear picnic of fish crackers and honey. Yum! Yum!
We also found and listened to “The Teddy Bear Picnic” song on the
internet. What a “beary” special beginning to our school
experience.
