Kindergarten At The Arden

We all enjoyed a spectacular performance of Charlotte’s Web at the Arden Theater!  We have been reading the chapter book in school and discussing how kindness influences the actions of the characters.  Now we are comparing and contrasting the play and the book, and we also worked on developing our writing skills by creating a page about our favorite part of the play.  Encouraging the love of stories is a big part of our work in kindergarten.

                                            Two of our students got invited to go on stage!

 The children were amazed by how the character Charlotte the spider moved around the stage. Here they are showing her how they can walk just like she did.

We gave  The children an opportunity to strengthen their literacy skills by having them draw a picture of one of their favorite parts of the play.   Then they further developed their writing skills by adding words to their papers .   When academic activities are introduced in the context of something that the children are excited about, deeper learning occurs.
