The Band

The best kindergarten writing is always when children decide they NEED to communicate with people.  Last week a group of kids decided to form a band.  Hunter, Quincy, Fred, Tasneem, Maxim, and Jack decided they wanted to perform for their friends at recess.  Here is what they wrote:

Sign on left says "Band will play at recess today.  Maxim, Jack, Tasneem, Fred, Quincy, Hunter"

Then we went and made copies of their posters and they put some up in each kindergarten classroom, our hallway, and the cafeteria.  We got some notes from the other kids.  This one asks "Can we dance at recess today when you are playing your band?"  The blue "yes" is an answer from one of the band members.

  Then they performed at recess, but from what I heard, Ibrahim was the only one in their audience.  When everyone came in from recess, some children from the other rooms said they couldn't find the band at recess. So... some children from the other rooms even wrote notes to our students.  We decided that if they are going to perform this week, they have to let the other kids know where to find them, so I see more signs in our future! I hope that your children are finding the need to write signs, letters, and stories at home too.  These are fun and worth keeping!!
