A Beautiful First Week

 So, this is our little hidden space where I will post pictures and details about our week and any other important information.  Yes, I am old and have used this little blog for a long time.  I love it here.  :)

We had an amazing first week and we already feel like we have known one another forever.  The hugs, the smiles, the giggles, the sweet little voices, the constant play and joy is just what our teacher hearts needed.  We know it's going to be an amazing year!  

By the second day together, the students were already learning the routine and were such good listeners.  We are truly proud of them.  Thank you for encouraging and loving your child.  We see you and we are always here for you.

We are practicing some basic skills, such as gluing, cutting, putting papers in our folders and packing up our bags and have loved learning about our daily jobs.  We met our friend Mat Man and will soon be drawing self-portraits like a champ.  Ask your child about Mat Man.  

We are excited for another week together!  

Blessings!

Busy Busy!

 Wow...it has been a while since I updated, and we have had so much going on.  Spring is so much fun on the farm and being outside with friends is truly amazing!  The messes and memories are worth all my energy to make this preschool a happy place for children and families.  

We have been so busy learning about chickens, all things oviparous, plants, worms, moles, and all the wonders that the children discover on their own.  Yes, it is true.  We had a retired teacher who loves learning with children and happens to be my daughter's boyfriend's grandma (Nanny) who collects pretty unique animals to share with children.  :)  It was my first time seeing a mole up close and we all enjoyed our time with Nanny and her mole.  ;)

We are nearing the end of our time together at preschool and my heart is aching.  I say it every year (except last year), but this year truly is special to me and I am going to miss this group so much.  These children have strong bonds and beautiful loving friendships.  They are kind, creative, love learning and SO MUCH FUN!   Let's make these last several weeks the best yet.
