our own version of project runway

Yes, Little Wonders PreK Class has their own runway show once a year, some of you are familiar with our Fall Festival Show.  The children design and create their own costumes every year, and strut their stuff for our friends and families to see for the opening of our festival!  Their sketches are already underway.......We are really big on measuring right now so we are incorporating lots of measuring as we design our costumes.  Take a look at some of our sketches.  We are drawing the front and the back and using measuring tape to estimate how much fabric we will need.  This is helping us recognize and practice writing our number and letters, familiarizing our self with inches, and helping us to make comparisons using terms like "longer", "shorter", " how wide", etc.

There is a list of the children and their choice of costume by the classrooms.  Please look at the list and have your child help you in choosing materials to bring to school to make his/her costume.  We have already started making them, so materials are welcome at any time.  A lot of children take trips to the fabric store with his/her parent, or some children bring in old clothes and "clean trash" that can be used to recycle and make costumes out of.  We love having things like old Cd's, cardboard, buttons, plastic bottles, Styrofoam, etc.  You are welcome to even take your child's sketch home with you to help you all decide what you should bring to school.  Please let any of your child's teachers know if you have any questions about this.  We are looking forward to it!!!!!

By the way.....the festival is scheduled for Friday, October 29th at 3:30 p.m.  Hope to see you there!
