i is for inspired

new years wishes

at the first circle time i invited preschoolers to start thinking of something they wished they could do.  about an hour later we gathered again and wrote down the ideas.  then there were paper strips to glue (a bit like new years fireworks?).  these are posted in our display cases, so i want to have them here for families who don’t make it down to the classroom.

  1. Love what you have done and the children’s response are really good =)
    particularly love the ‘ I want to build a tree with a hammer’ haha

  2. Hi!
    May I use a few of these images on my blog? I love how similar their wishes are to my 2010 hopes! I’ll link back to you through the images and words.
    Thanks,
    Rachael

  3. This made the apple farmer grandparents very, very proud. Thank you for the smiles. I love walking into preschool these days (even more than before, if that is possible).

  4. Kristin, I hope you don’t mind, but I used your idea today with my preschoolers and blogged about it. I linked it to your blog. Thank you again for being such an inspiration to all of us ECE teachers!

  5. I love the “I want to learn how to train dogs like Sally” – I want to do that too. What a wonderful display to have in a classroom. If I were a parent, I would go to work quite inspired:)
