Spring
has definitely sprung in the Pre-K classroom. We have read a wonderful story
by author James Howe called "I Wish I Were A Butterfly." In this
story a cricket is not happy with who he is. He considers himself very ugly.
He wishes that he were a butterfly because he says that there is always beauty
in a butterfly. When he meets other insects along the way they tell him that
wishing is a waste of time. Until one special friend goes with him to the
water's edge, he looks back at his reflection and realizes to his surprise
that the ugliness had faded. Finally he is happy being a cricket.
After reading the story each child was granted one wish. If we could be anything or anyone for a day what or who would we be. Click on the child's name to read their wish.
