Frequent readers of the blog (or classroom newsletter) might know that every month we share on a theme in our classroom. March's theme is "Amazing Animals". To go along with this, our pretend area has become a Vet's office and in Workshop, we have immersed ourselves in Mo Willem's Elephant and Piggie books! In this blog post you will see Kindergarteners taking extraordinary care as they examine and treat stuffie pets in the Vet's office and learn to draw Gerald the elephant and Piggie the Pig in Mo Willems' style. What you might not be able to see from the photos, is the care they are showing for one another as they take turns in the pretend area (both trading off roles and rotating through in groups of 3), AND as they negotiate learning to draw step by step but in a whole group! They are a wonderful crew.
