Kindergarten Graduation Play

I am excited to show a couple of photos of the props from our kindergarten version of Eric Carle’s, The Very Hungry Caterpillar.  Our school puts on a kindergarten graduation ceremony at the end of the year.  Since I was the only kindergarten teacher, I got to choose the theme!  Last year, we did an adorable reading of Leo Lionni’s, Swimmy.  This year, I decided to do a reading of The Very Hungry Caterpillar.  Not all of the students can be shown in photos on the internet, so I can’t post actual pictures from the graduation, but I can show pictures of the beautiful props that my friend Kristen made!

I typed out the words from the story and divided it among 8 students to be our readers.  Other students had the part of carrying a prop across the stage as the story was being read.  In between some of the readings, we sang a couple of songs about caterpillars and butterflies!  Here are the props from the play!

Here is another sweet treat that my best friend left on my desk the last day of school.  She said the owls were supposed to be us. 🙂  I have had the joy and privilege of working with one of my best friends the last two years.  She teaches 3rd and I teach kinder and it makes my day so much more fun getting to see her every day. 🙂

And I had to post this hilarious/creepy picture of me jumping in the jumper with my class at the end of the year picnic.  I lasted about 10 minutes and then I felt like I was gonna puke…
