Our Poem today fits the weather just perfectly:
"In Like a Lion, Out Like a Lamb" by Lorie Hil
March roars in like a lion
so fierce.
The wind so cold
it seems to pierce.
The month rolls on
and Spring draws near.
And March goes out
like a lamb so dear.
This poem led to a very high level discussion. Kindergarten was able to use words to describe lions: fierce, loud, sharp claws and teeth, a hunter, king of the jungle, and make the connection to the wind and cold that we have experienced the last few days. Kindergarten then described a lamb as cuddly, cozy, calm, and gentle and connected this to the warm weather that is (hopefully) coming later this month! Ms. Gunnarsson also shared some photos she had of sheep from a trip to Iceland she took.
We also had a special treat this afternoon - a visit from the Vermont Symphony Orchestra. Percussionists from the VSO visited CP Smith School and played different percussion instruments, made us laugh and taught us lots about different instruments they use.
