We are winding down our How We Express Ourselves Unit of Inquiry. We have spent a great deal of time talking about the various ways this happens (clothing, words, writing, food, music, traditions, facial expressions,...). This is just a friendly reminder that we will be having our food celebration this Friday (11/18). We are asking that the children bring a dish to share with other students. Please include the recipe, so that we may create a CIS Kindergarten Cookbook.
If you are wondering what to send in, please remember to keep it simple. We will not have access to microwaves or ovens. For example if your family likes to snack on fresh fruits or veggies, you may want to send these items in (pre cut please). If you like to dip your apples in caramel, then you could send in a container of caramel along with the apples. If your family loves to make pumpkin bread, please send in a loaf. If your family has game night week and makes popcorn, send it in. If you enjoy making cookies together, please send some in. Simple, simple, fun, fun! This is a great time to reflect with your child too. You'd may be surprised at the fun foods they think about when they think of their family traditions. So sweet!
The dish should serve 8-12 people. Please label all containers you would like returned.You can send in the dish with your child or drop it off in the office. We will enjoy our activity in the afternoon.
We are looking forward to learning about each of our families as we enjoy the company of our friends. Thank you for helping!!!
