Today in kindergarten, we continued to build ourselves with the remaining materials. After doing the activity a number of times, we are able to make sure our bodies had all the parts we needed. We also practiced a guided drawing of person with Mrs. Patten. Since it was so rainy out, we did a body break in the classroom and then Mrs. Dennis' class came over for a book. We read a great story to start our conversation about Orange Shirt Day. The story is called Fox and Squirrel. When Fox and Squirrel get together, Squirrel can only see their differences. Squirrel is small and Fox is big; Squirrel lives in a nest and Fox in a burrow; Squirrel likes the day and Fox, the night. But as their friendship grows, Fox gently points out that their differences are good, and more than that, they have many things in common too. Even Squirrel begins to see that maybe they are not so different after all! It was a great way to start our discussions about how we are unique. Have a conversation with your child about similarities and differences in your family.
