Our Circle Time friend this week has been a hedgehog, particularly appropriate after reading Apple Trouble last week. However, Hedgie started to feel lonely after a couple of days. The story I told the children goes something like this: Hedgie was getting lonely at school and wanted another hedgehog friend. He told Mrs. Reiss and on Thursday she brought Reggie’s (her dog’s) hedgehog to visit. The children were very happy to see that the two hedgehogs were able to be together. Your child should be able to tell you which is our hedgehog and which is Reggie’s (or which is Hedgie 1 and which is Hedgie 2). Be sure to ask your child how to sing the Hello song to them.

Mrs. Dotivala almost always has her hair tied up on her head. The children were surprised to see that she actually has very long hair. During Circle Time she was adjusting her hair and fixing the knot on the top. The children were mesmerized when they saw her very long hair so she did a demonstration for them on how she puts it all up on top.
