What a Fiesta at My Smart World preschool.  Students’ heads were fitted for sombreros and they danced with maracas.  We enjoyed hearing and learning many new Spanish words.

Poor little Sam had to walk through the jungle to school where tigers were prowling and growling. They took his bright colored clothes and ended up fighting over them. They chased each other around the tree so fast, they were blurred and melted into a pool of butter. You may recognize this new version Sam and the Tiger from an old story Little Black Sambo. Our children growled as they enjoyed pancakes with tiger butter. What a delicious. Comments at the end of the day, “Teacher do you have some butter I can take home, my mom doesn’t know where to get tiger butter.” “ Even the water tastes like tigers. “ Our drawings with leaf prints reflected our story and we examined the classical artist Henry Rousseau’s jungle drawings.
