Week of 5/16

Dear Panda Room Parents,


 
We had a great week in the Panda Room learning all about  Kindness and Giving Back
 
Books we read:

• A Xylephone for X-Ray Fish,  by Liza Charlesworth
• How Full Is Your Bucket for Kids, by Tom Rath and Mary Reckmeyer
• The Berenstain Bears Think of Those in Need, by Stan and Jan Berenstain

 
Classroom Activities aka THEATER WEEK UPDATE:

• Had our Letter of the Week “X”
• Well Theater week came and went!!! We had an amazing time preparing and performing for you all. I must say, the kids worked HARD for the past month getting ready for this show. Every single thing that you saw was made by the children and the pride they had performing was very special to watch. Super proud!!!
• Once we finished performing, we moved onto kindness and giving back. This year we are not doing ALSF but we are working closely with an organization called No Limits which caters to children who are deaf and hearing impaired. We are enjoying learning some sign language in the Panda Room and look forward to working with No Limits this year in a very special way!
• We read The Berenstain Bears Help those in Need and then came up with our own ways that we can help people. Our answers were wide ranged from simply saying "please and thank you" to donating old toys and clothes that no longer fit. 

 
Theme this week:

• We talked about  Kindness and Giving back
• Next week we will be continuing this theme

 
Reminders:

• 5/31- victorian gardens trip- every child must have an adult 

Have a wonderful weekend,

The Panda Room Teachers
