The coins and fans were great visuals to support discussions and connect to the various books. \r\n\r\nStudents picked books for me to read after recess to the class. We read and discussed the customs and traditions of the holiday. They made connections to the different books about Lunar New Year during our read alouds. It was wonderful to hear students share a connection from one book to the next. We also learned how to draw a dragon, and students were excited to create one of their own. Many looked up at our new hanging dragon for inspiration during the drawing session!\r\n\r\nStudents still continue to enjoy the books and read them. Each day we have time to look through books and read. Students pick a book that interests them. Many select the Lunar New Year books! We are working on reorganizing our library and having students create labels for books bins. I will add one of their dragons to the book bin to label our new Lunar New Year books!

From the second they saw the class door and entered the classroom, they were excited and loved the 101 Dalmatians theme. On a regular day we use numbered spots on the carpet but the students loved the paw prints instead! Many dressed with ears and spots to celebrate the day. I took a photo of each child to send to their parents and will add one to their end of the year memory book. \r\n\r\nWe had a fun dog relay with bones and props to pick up along the way. We had a scavenger hunt in the garden to find 101 dogs! The last one was tricky to find but someone finally found it! We had a fun read aloud with the themed book, and students enjoyed creating their own dog art with stickers and crayons. The veterinarian kit was a big hit as well. It is still a very popular toy now! The bubbles and paw stamps were fun activities they enjoyed as well. \r\n\r\n I am definitely looking forward to this day next year to celebrate with another class.

The students loved the hands-on activities that supported the books that we read aloud and discussed to build empathy and compassion. The students used the mini story pieces to retell important parts of the story and to discuss the story with one another. \r\n\r\nWe really enjoyed learning about Valentine's day and creating cards for a local senior center. The students voted on a poem that we then looked over for sight words and spelling patterns/words that they could sound out and read. It was exciting to hear them read aloud a poem that they then wanted to share with someone for Valentine's day. \r\n\r\nStudents worked together to cut out poems to glue into cards. I helped them place the poem inside the card to glue. With the help of a few big buddies kindergartners decorated the cover with heart stickers. We made over 125 cards to share with the senior center for their special Valentine's day gala. \r\n\r\nThe day I dropped off the cards, the lady at the front desk immediately smiled and thanked me. I shared the news with my class and a few shared they started making their own cards to mail to a senior in their own family. \r\n\r\nMy students loved making the cards and wanted to make another set of cards to celebrate spring and send well wishes to the senior center again. My students still talk about the cards they made for the seniors in our community. I am excited to continue this card making activity with this class and continue to make Valentine's for others in the community again next year.","fullyFundedDate":1753833234579,"projectUrl":"project/cultivating-compassion-in-kindergarten/9465803/","projectTitle":"Cultivating Compassion in Kindergarten","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Mooney","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9679585_orig.jpg?crop=416,416,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1751090060043","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9679585"},{"teacherId":4371926,"projectId":9753153,"letterContent":"Thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting our classroom laminating project.
