Week 4- Papa Piccolo - Pet Care and Sardine Charts

Another great week spent learning about Papa Piccolo, the tomcat turned papa. Last week we were left hanging when the kittens accidentally ran away on a taxi gondola. Well, the friendly gondolier found them and brought them back to Piccolo! Upon their return Piccolo decided to name the kittens Marco and Polo! It was a happy reunion and Piccolo gladly gave up his bachelor life to raise and teach the kittens everything they needed to know. He even taught them to eat spaghetti?!?
We discussed how to take care of kittens. We discovered they need A LOT of the same things we need. They need to stay with their mom when they are young (Julian proclaimed that HE is staying with his mom until she dies!), they need love and cuddles, food, toys, comfortable beds, shelter, collars (we don't need these), and they also need to be told when they do something wrong.
After our stimulating conversation we made a graph with rainbow goldfish. We figured out which color of goldfish we had the most and least of with a little charting exercise.
And those who brought special friends to class introduced them before class was over. We met Dog, Duckie, Kai, Intrepid and a Transformer. It was great to see all these great "pets."

Next week we will be PAINTING!! So please don't come all decked out in fancy clothes.

Also, on February 12th we are going to have a Valentine's Day party. We are working on valentine pouches to use in our exchanging of cards. We would LOVE for all the kids to participate in the exchange!
Below is the class list:

I believe there is a field trip for the Rescue Heroes class that same day, so I will leave it up to you whether or not you want your child to participate in the card exchange if they will be on the field trip. I will gladly deliver their pouch of Valentines when they return.

THANK YOU!!! Your children are fabulous!
