This week we are going to read 3 different "Fox and Squirrel" stories. These stories are written by Canadian author, Ruth Ohi.
Please check out her website if you like this week: Ruth Ohi website

Please listen to the story Fox and Squirrel here:  Fox and Squirrel

After listening to the story, pick one person in your house. In your journal, write the name of the person you chose. Now draw one thing that is the same about you and the person you chose. Next draw one thing that is different about you and the person you chose.

Below are 2 optional how to draw lessons. We use "Art Hub for Kids" at school for guided drawing lessons and the kids love them!

Today was an outstanding day in Kindergarten.  We talked about what makes up a community and the interesting places we can find right in our own community of Tuscany.  We continued to explore community helpers and the jobs they do in our community.  We completed a journal response where we drew a picture of what we want to be when we grow up. Our arrival centers included a chance to explore shapes.  We built buildings with shapes, used plasticine & toothpicks to make 3-D shapes, used geo-boards & elastics to make shapes and played shape roll & write.  Please ask your child what shape center they explored today.
