Pp Pablo Picasso and Peter Perfectly Polite

We had a great day with the letter Pp. We could do Pp for weeks, there is so much to do. We had a "visit" today from Peter and Polly perfectly polite, and also from Patty-pretty-much-not-polite. We did various role plays of how we should act to be polite. One of the things we discussed was looking people in the eye when we speak to them. We were pretending we went to work with our dad, and he introduced us to someone who asked our name. The little guy that I had role playing with me looked me right in the eyes, and with all of the confidence in the world said (and very politely I might add) "My name is Batman!"

We also learned a little bit about Pablo Picasso (1881-1973). Although not renown for being terribly polite, he changed art forever by being himself, and believing strongly in something. We made our own Pablo Picasso portraits that will be displayed at our winter showcase in December. Top that day off with preschool-made pepperoni pizza, and we had a marvelous day!
