The Three Little Pigs
Today Mrs. Kitson read us the story, The Three Little Pigs by Steven Kellog. It was a little different from the original Little Pig story. She also read us the book, Super Pigs, by, Claire Evans. Ask me about the books. We made our own little pigs' houses. We are bringing home our Little Red Riding Hood books. Ask me to re-tell the story using my book. We played a puzzle game putting together compound words. We are working hard on our weaving. We played with the basketballs in the gymnasium. It was so much fun. We were hot and sweaty after gym. After afternoon recess we listened to a guided meditation and calmed our bodies. We had lots of fun playing at wondertime. It was a little piggy kind of day in kindergarten.

Super Red Riding Hood
Today Mrs. Kitson read us a funny version of Red Riding Hood. The name of the book is Super Red Riding Hood. We really liked this version. Most of us still like Ninja Red Riding Hood the best. We made special post cards today for Mr. Spady. We wrote down what we liked best about school. We played roll a sight word. Mrs. Kitson wrote the words on the board and we stretched out the sounds. We are making a Little Red Riding Hood book so we can re-tell you the story. Maybe, we could make up our own version of Red Riding Hood together. It was so wet outside. We were glad we had a change of clothes. It was fun playing in the castle in the afternoon. We had a wet and wonderful day in kindergarten.
