It's a "Bugz" world!
| |
Dear Parents and OLF Families,
When our MAP students invited you to our "picnic" you came! But wait,... this was not your average picnic! It was truly a feast for everyone's visual and auditory senses, a theatrical play on our new stage in front of a huge audience!....Little "Bugz" were buzzing, army ants were marching, lady bugs were dancing....
Our Kindergartners were fully engaged in being effective communicators through narration, song, dance and spacial expression. Their story centered around community building, inclusion and kindness. They had learned that excluding "stink bug" was hurtful and wrong.
Our young actors learned that as a community they can work together to ensure that every child is welcomed! These are huge lessons for our little "bugz"! Congratulations on a wonderful performance!
Blessings,
Mrs. Beate Nguyen, M.A. Ed.,
Principal
