The Go Go Grandmothers of Guelph - March 11, 2016

We aren’t really sure how we have arrived at April already, but here we are.  Sadly, we have not had a single moment to update the blog in a while, so be prepared for some back dated posts to start clogging up the screen!

Lots of exciting things have been happening in Kindergarten A.  We continue to make changes, add things, and remove things to support our students.  Stay tuned for more posts about that!

 On March 11 we were lucky enough to experience an amazing presentation from the Go-Go Grandmothers of Guelph.  The Grandmothers work as volunteers to raise money for The Stephen Lewis Foundation and the Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign, raising money for African grandmothers who care for orphaned children.

The Grandmothers told us a great story using puppets about a rabbit named Zomo who has to gather 3 things in order to learn a secret.  The Grandmothers used puppets, drumming, and storytelling to bring the story to life, and the kindergarteners LOVED every minute of it.  Afterwards, the children were able to play musical instruments and learn about puppeteering.  It was truly an incredible visit, and we are very grateful to Mrs. Higginbottom from KB for organizing it.
