My afternoon in Kindergarten

Yesterday I got to volunteer in Nate's Kindergarten class. I was a few minutes late, and when I got there, Nate was just leaving the class to take the attendance to the office. He was the special helper for the day. The kids all sat on le tapis (the carpet) and sang songs while the teacher played guitar and sang with them. And Nate got to sit up on a bench, since he was the special helper. Later, they went to music class, where they practiced for their upcoming musical, The Littlest Reindeer. After practising all their songs, they go to do some dancing. Nate had tons of fun, even if he didn't always remember what moves they were doing.

After music class, they washed up and had their snacks, and then had free play for awhile. They have all kinds of activity centres, from kitchen to computers. Nate coloured for a bit and helped me with a project I was given by the teacher. I was making covers for the kids's art portfolios. Each one had the student's name and picture, so Nate found everyone's picture for me.

It was a great day in Kindergarten, and Nate was pretty good, so I'll be back again in the new year.
