Helper heroes

 Today Mike, August's dad, came to our classroom and gave us two packages. He told us to water them and to wait a few days to find out what is all about. Catbirds will sure be surprised!

 Catbirds were so happy to see Justin!  This time he brought a very interesting instrument from India called keyboard sitar. Justin let friends touch the keys from the instrument and listen to the sounds. Then we all sang together.

 After outdoor play we welcomed Sandra to our classroom, Sandra is a helper who works in a food pantry. Sandra explained to us what people do at the food pantry as well as to who do they donate the food. Sandra also told us that people at the pantry classify food as green, yellow, and red. Green would be the healthiest of all.
Friends asked how could we help. (Catbirds sang "How we can help "song to Sandra). She asked us to collect food and to bring it over the pantry. She gave us examples of the food that they need the most.
