We started the week reading Beatrix Potter's, The Tale of Peter Rabbit. This is the story of a naughty rabbit whose choices almost have dreadful consequences for him. After reading the story, we had a good discussion about how some of our own choices led to unfavorable consequences. The students made many connections with this theme! After our talk, the children wrote in their journals about their choices and consequences.
I shared with the students the Peter Rabbit web site. You can go here with your child to find activities and information about Peter Rabbit.
After studying fish and worms, we moved on this week to our next animal, snails. What interesting animals! Imagine how excited Kindergarten kids are over an animal that uses a cool belly foot to move along very slowly on a trail of slime! We are learning the body parts of a snail, its needs and how it is different from the other animals we have studied. Water snails are available for us to observe.
