April 21st - Kindergarten Day

Today we celebrate Kindergarten Day, in honor of Friedrich Froebel who started the first Kindergarten in Germany in 1837.

The school was built upon a series of innovative principles that used the innate curiosity and intrests of children to guide them to see what Froebel believed to be the harmonious, interconnectedness of all things -- through song and play (which was unheard of in earlier schools); daily lessons in drawing, design, and other artistic activities; and learning through active doing and close contacts with the natural world -- many of the kindergartens actually had real gardens attached to them that the children tended and in doing so, Froebel believed, cultivated their own inner lives.

In honour of KG Day, I want to see a layout about school!! It can be any grade, any person, as long as it is school related.

I started one yesterday about my ds going from KG to grade 8, adn should finish it today, but here is one of me and my 2 sons, all in grade 3!



You will have until April 29th at midnight to get your projects uploaded here!

I like the LO, Helen - the way you made two small circle pics to go with the main 4x6 pic! Looks very nice!

Awww, look at you! So cute!

A great LO, Helen and a fabulous idea of scrapping your Garde 3 pic with your sons.

Love that layout Helen!!!
I hate doing school layouts, so will keep away from this challenge LOL

Nice job Helen! I've got some pictures of DD's 1st day of Kindergarten that I cut out a long time ago & never used so maybe this will motivate me to scrap them!
