Welcome to the KinderGARDEN-where every child has a place to bloom!
When a little girl walks into her classroom on the first day of school, she looks everywhere for flowers.
After all, everyone told her she was going to KinderGARDEN. So where is the garden?
Her teacher smiles and explains that their classroom garden has not been planted yet-because it is waiting for the children!
One by one, the students decorate colorful handprint flowers, add green stems and leaves with their names, and plant them in a very special classroom KinderGARDEN. As the garden begins to bloom, the children discover that no two flowers are exactly alike-and neither are they.
Each child is unique.
Each child is important.
And every child belongs.
The KinderGARDEN is a heartwarming back-to-school read-aloud and hands-on first-day activity that helps children feel welcomed, included, and excited about beginning kindergarten. Teachers can display the flowers throughout the school year, then let each child pick their flower on the last day of school as a keepsake of how much they have grown.
