Chester the Raccoon

Chester the Raccoon

 
All Kindergarten classes have enjoyed reading the story "The Kissing Hand" written by Audrey Penn.  Ask your child to retell the events of the story.  How did Chester feel in the beginning of the story? (Very sad because he didn't want to go to school and leave his mom and house).  How did he feel in the middle of the story?  (Chester was now happy and excited to go to school).  What action changed his feelings?  (His mom gave him the Kissing Hand!  Ask your child what this means! :)  How did he feel in the end? (Chester looked forward to school and danced all the way there.  He was excited to learn, meet new friends, and play with new toys.  He wasn't worried because he knew his Mommy loved him).
