It was so special to listen to the children as they shared their memory objects. When children share personal experiences our little classroom family becomes closer; bonding and understanding each other better. Drawings become more meaningful and thoughtful when children draw about something they have experienced personally. Eventually the same process will be true of their writings.
Please check the Cottage Happenings tab as we have started American Sign Language, gardening, handwork and music. I have so enjoyed watching the children learn and interact with our ASL teacher. Mrs. Michelle is deaf and reads lips. Amazing things are happening through their interactions with learning sign language from her. Mrs. Tindle, our music teacher, is bringing wonderful movement and songs to our classroom. Handwork is also a favorite of many! The children learned to one finger knit with Mrs. Sloan, working their fine motor skills and focus.
I'm so sorry about the pictures being the wrong way! I tried to rotate them with no luck but they were just too sweet not to post.
