Farewell friend!

Happy Friday everyone. We began our short busy morning painting our Koi Nobori. Other friends drew shapes, colored and cut out those shapes. After finishing up in the morning, we got ready for Rosalie’s Goodbye Party. We were sad but happy to send her off with a smile. R’s mom, S, read us R’s favorite story, “A Kitten Tale” by Eric Rohmann. R’s dad, Hendrick, danced with us to the song “Fliegerlied”.
Y : R’s last day!
A : A baby! She’s happy! Baby is small!
L : So little!
H : Thank you! (to R)
A : Thank you! (to R)

After R’s Goodbye Party, we had Storytime. We read, “The Happy Bee” by Ian Beck. It is a story about a bee’s daily life gathering pollen. We had a short Circle Time after Storytime before Maryna’s Dance Class.
