helping a friend

Socialization happens very naturally in our classroom.  We teach grace and courtesy such as how to ask for help, how to walk around someone's work, how to give a compliment...  As these children have learned to tie, they are now able to ask each other for help tying bows or knots! 

We are thankful!

We are thankful for all of these wonderful children and their families!  To celebrate Thanksgiving, we decided to make vegetable soup and bread to share together.  The children participated in the chopping of the vegetables and helped to make the bread.  When it was time, they helped to bring the tables and chairs together.  Our previous napkin folding activity worked out well as we used them while having our soup.

YUM!  Some children really enjoyed the soup, some didn't and that is okay.  We encouraged them to have a taste before deciding if they did not like it.  We also showed them how to dunk the bread in the soup for a yummy bite. 
Again, THANK YOU and have a great Thanksgiving!
