Goodbye October!

I'm thankful that October is almost over...I have never been a fan of Halloween, but will always make it fun for the students.  :)  

We are learning so much and I could not be more proud or excited to continue to watch this class learn and love.  Each and every day, I am amazed by these beautiful students.  

I have not been remembering to put the letter of the day on the door and I am really going to try harder.  Each day, the students are excited to learn a new letter.  This week, we did M,L,H and T.   Next week will be I,J,K and P.  We teach both the uppercase and lowercase letters, but focus on writing uppercase, as they are easier to form.  When your child has mastered their name in uppercase, we will begin writing with only the first letter uppercase.  

We finished up with all of our fall state assessments, and we look forward to sharing these with you during our conference time.  

This month, we will focus on being thankful.  I think a windmill unit study will be next for this class.  I will keep you posted. 

Have a blessed weekend.

Full of Joy!

 I have no other way to describe this class, but to tell you that they are full of joy!  It is truly a blessing to spend each morning with this group of students.  They love deeply, talk REALLY loud, accept differences and smile all the time.   I love that your children love learning and ask lots of questions, but I love more that they are learning to love each other fiercely and to be kind.

Everyone did great for Kim during our pictures on Thursday and I can't wait to see how they turned out.  Once she is finished editing them, I will send home the proofs and order forms.  

I will be picking up our orders from P&M on Monday and will send them home with your child on Tuesday:)
