Mrs. Forney's Kindergarten

Brigdton, Maine

     Hi All!

  I regret that the leaves are not as colorful as they were last year.  On the trees, our foliage this year was magnificent.  But, with the extra rain, or weather change, or ???, no matter what I tried, the colors just did not RETAIN their  brilliance.               One of the things the kids did for foliage season this year was to make little trees out of brown pipe cleaners, and then apply colored paper for the leaves.  We also lamiated extra leaves.  We used these in our November poem, with the student of the day "throwing" the laminated leaves over their head while we sang. 

  We are on the Route 302 corridor in South Western Maine.  Brigdton is about half way between Portland , on the coast and North Conway, NH, at the White Mountains.

  Our kindergarten is all day every day.  We have been doing this for our third year now, and it has been so wonderful.  I see so many benefits for the children that I hadn't anticipated.  And I was a long time advocate for all day kindergarten!

  We have such beautiful seasons up here in Maine.  Hope you are having  a good school year.
