Partnership in Parenting gathered for the May group connection to create their traditional, annual PIP journals. The children were weighed and measured back in September and again this month. Some of the PIP-Squeaks grew as much as three inches!
First, though, they listened to the story, "I Love You as Big as the World" by David Van Buren and Tim Warnes. This rhyming book helped the children learn that the love of their families stretches to the top of the highest mountain, the bottom of the sea, and as far away as a star.
Next, everyone gathered at the table to reminisce over their pictures and artwork from across the year and to start assembling the journals. The children also made handprint Mother's Day cards, and then enjoyed a snack before choosing a book to take home.
PIP's June group connection will be on the 12th at 9:30. They will meet at Newman Regional Library to kick off the summer reading program.

In February, our junior high teachers delved into professional development at Shedd Aquarium, exploring 'Using Science Fiction to Inform Fiction.' Fast forward to May, where our 6th and 7th graders delved into sea creature investigations, presenting their findings before embarking on an exciting trip to Shedd to meet these creatures in person! 🐠🌊
Let the fun begin!
"When you hear the term speech-language pathologist (SLP), you might think of professionals who help kids with speech difficulties. And that’s not wrong. SLPs work on challenges like stuttering or trouble pronouncing word sounds. But SLPs also work on challenges that are related to language. That includes problems with communication and reading "(understood.org).
Thank you, Mrs. Honemann, for making a difference in so many lives!
