VIP for a Day!

Every Friday throughout the school year, all the kids in Karmindy's Kindergarten class had their own VIP day. Karmindy had hers today and she was so excited! Ms. Calhoun, Karmindy's teacher, had each child make a poster telling about themselves. The poster included their likes, dislikes, favorite foods, favorite activities and a little bit about their family. Also, instead of bringing treats to share with the class, her teacher, asked the parents to bring a favorite book of the child to share with the class and then come up with a game or craft that coincided with the book for the students to play or make. Karmindy had a hard time deciding which book to share (she loves to read and has several favorite books) but finally settled on the book, "Princess Peepers." Princess Peepers is such a cute book that talks about a princess who wears glasses and gets made fun of by her peers. After trying to prove to her peers that she doesn't need glasses, the princess learns that it is okay to be different and wear glasses because its the only way she can see what's going on around her. She also learns that she cant get ready for an upcoming ball without them. In the end, the Princess meets the amazing Prince in the land and through a series of events finds out he also wears glasses. It was love at first "sight" and they lived happily ever after. It really is a cute story about accepting your differences and learning to love yourself. Instead of a game, we decided to make heart pipe cleaner glasses with the class. The kids loved making the glasses. Also, for Karmindy's spotlight she also wanted to bring Kozette for her show and tell portion. All the kids loved meeting our puppy and Kozette loved meeting all of Karmindy's classmates! It was a fun afternoon and Karmindy loved being the center of attention!
