Mystery Reader, Aiden!

What a delight to have a sibling as a mystery reader! Zarina was very happy to be seated between her momma, Mona and her big brother, Aiden. Aiden read Bunnies, by Richard Scary and The Pout-Pout Fish. Aiden is a St. John's alum and announced that he really likes reading and has been reading since kindergarten. Thank you, Aiden and Mona!

Empty Hallway Message Boxes Inspires a Message List 

Vivienne wrote a list with Kate of the names of all the message boxes without messages. Jossi from the brown room was intrigued by Vivienne's work when she noticed and quickly involved herself. Together they partnered up to create a list. A next step the following day was to make a master list. The master list was achieved as a team effort between Vivienne and Hadley who rewrote the names and Jossi who stamped the symbols.  Hopefully, this will inspire in the children a greater awareness of the purpose and meaning of message exchanges.
