This month we are focusing on what we are thankful for and we sure are thankful for our friends at Desert Blossom! We read a story called The Spiffiest Giant in Town about a giant who is very generous to all his friends and in return his friends give him a crown as a special present. We also read Have You Filled a Bucket Today? and How Full is Your Bucket for Kids. These two books are about the invisible bucket we each have. When our buckets are full we feel great, but when it's empty we feel awful. Everything that happens in a day either fills or empties your bucket. We discussed as a class how to fill other people's buckets by giving compliments, being kind, sharing, taking turns and being helpful. When you fill someone else's bucket it makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside too and fills your bucket! Each kiddo has their own bucket on our bulletin board that we are filling with warm fuzzies when we see friends being bucket fillers!
Preschoolers decorated their own friendship crown and as a class we thought about why each of our friends at school is a good friend and wrote the reasons on their crown. We made friendship bracelets for a classmate and worked together to bake friendship bread. Friends also enjoyed exploring the water beads on the light table, building with the friend blocks and matching friend's pictures with their names and playing outside in the early snow!
