Abiyoyo

If you have never read the story ABIYOYO by Pete Seeger, you're missing out! It is based on a South African Lullaby, and the kids just love it!
After listening to Pete Seeger sing/tell the story, we discussed the beginning, middle, and end of the story. We discussed the characters, and then acted it out!
 After we acted it out, we illustrated the beginning, middle, and end. 
What GREAT illustrators I have!!!

THE THEATER!

Oh how I love the Dramatic Play Center!!
 The kids were so excited to come into class to see a new dramatic play center!
 Allowing children to play with puppets helps develop language and communication skills, creativity, and encourages reading comprehension when retelling stories.
 What FUN we are having with our Puppet Theater!
