Hi Families,
Something new in our classroom this week is the opening of the painting easel. I think it's great for children to have access to paint for their own creative expression and exploration. On most days the easel is a choice for those who are interested during Explore Time. And just for fun, I read the class a book about elephants who paint! If you are interested, there is a kid-friendly event in Burlington this weekend to raise awareness on the peril of elephants and rhinos due poaching for ivory. A parent let me know that...
...a 7-grade student from Charlotte has been working hard to help organize events in order to help protect elephants and rhinos, killed for their ivory. She has planned Vermont’s first March for Elephants, scheduled for October 4th at 11:00 at City Hall in Burlington. It will be part of a Global March for Elephants that involves over 130 cities around the world.
Here is a picture of the book and a sample painting from our room
