Carrie Malnor sent this note and some photos:
I have been to "Tips, Tricks and Terrific
Ideas" and "Razzle Dazzle Centers and Activities" and re-read the books from
it alllllll the time. The songs, the transition tricks, the funny little
things that make Kinders feel special...I love it all.
This year, I typed
out your haircut (tune, Happy Birthday), new shoes, and lost a tooth (tune, Turkey in the Straw) songs and laminated them and
put them on magnet clips so the kids can grab them for our Morning Meeting
if we need to celebrate! They LOVE it! I attached the typed up versions...so
cute!
You may download Carrie's song sheets in our Downloads section this month.
