The Kindy kids beckon spring!


As January, comes to a close we learned that not every culture celebrates New Year's on the same day.


Today, we looked at different New Year's Celebration: Chinese New Year. We read the story The Magic Paintbrush, by Julia Donaldson and then we created magic paintings!


Using ink, straws, glue and glitter your children created beautiful pussy willows branches and even placed them in vases to beckon the Chinese New Year a celebration of the beginning of Spring. Please be sure to look at your child's art work in the display case of the main hallway!
