Who's That Girl?

Meet Vanessa Rohrer. She a talented recent addition to our staff. Vanessa has assumed the position of "Floater Teacher." In addition to her qualifications as an early childhood educator, she has an extensive background in drama with young children. She has developed a dramatic arts program for Rooms 4 and 5. In Room 4, she'll be introducing concepts with drama groups on Wednesday afternoons from 3:00 to 4:00, and offer ongoing activities for practice and fun. The children already love to act out our favorite stories from school and home. Vanessa will enrich that natural learning process.

We are so fortunate to have Vanessa in this important position at our school. Having a "Floater Teacher" provides consistency and familiarity for the children when there are substitutions or changes to our schedule. Having Vanessa in this role will expand the repertoire of our multi-talented staff.

TODAY'S STORY
Frog In Winter, by Max Velthuijs. One morning, Frog wakes up knowing that something had gone wrong with the world. Everything is completely white, and it is very cold outside. Much too cold for Frog to take part in any of the fun that his friends are having with the ice and snow. It's even too cold for him to enjoy a snowball fight! After all, he is just a bare frog - he has neither fur nor feathers...Eventually the other animals band together to equip Frog with warm clothing and extra firewood. But nothing will really cheer Frog up as much as the arrival of the Spring.
