What's in a name?

Hi, everyone!  Hope your weekend was fun - even with the kind of funky weather.
Last week we read a couple of books about names -and we have been discussing how the children got their names.  We will be writing about how they got their names this week, so be sure to share this information with them.  I did this activity with my class two years ago, and it was really interesting to see the varied inspirations for children's names.
 Just a reminder to help your child find something from nature for our wonder /nature center.  We can return it if you would like - if it is delicate, we will treat it as gently as 6 year olds can.  You may have noticed some stray paint on your child last week - we have been doing apple prints with tempera paint.  Actually, they were very careful - I even escaped with a paint free white blouse.  Some of us are painting again this week, so play clothes are in order.
