This Month's Highlight: Friendships in Mrs. Santoro's Class
The kindergarten classes started off 2022 reading and writing about friends. We have been paying close attention to how characters in book feel and what makes some characters good friends. Piggy and Gerald, Penguin and Pinecone and Pete the Cat are some of our current classroom favorites. We are also taking time to practice good friendship skills in our classroom including listening to others, taking turns, using kind words and complimenting each other.
