2 Half Days, Fall Craft & Questioning

We had a great week, considering it was shortened and fast-paced. I love each and every little one in my class so much, and upon finishing all parent conferences have learned how much each student has already grown. It makes my heart smile. I do a "caught ya" (doing awesome when they don' think I am watching) ticket drawing everyday, and then a big drawing on Thursday. This week I drew a name for the big drawing, and the reward she chose was to pick our Fun Friday activity. In honor of Fall, she chose a beautiful Q-tip paint project, combined with a Fall writing activity. I just LOVE the way they turned out! AWESOME!

Our Fun Friday Craft Picker!

Oh, Friday- Friday!

As we close down this week, I just want to tell you (again) how much I adore your children. They make my HEART smile. We learend so much this week, and I am seeing such growth in them, it's unbelievable.

Reminders: Please don't forget to drop your child off at our school at 8:00 AM on Monday morning, 11/5- as our buses are leaving at 8:30 AM sharp.

After our testing was done today, we learned about "diversity," and how everyone's differences are intruguing, and interesting. The theme in the class was "different is great." We learned about India- their customs, foods, traditions, and music. I just love educating their little minds with culturally diverse things, it's fills me with joy to watch them get excited. To finish off their learning we all had the opportunity to try Naan bread- a custom bread from India.

To begin our celebration of diversity, we started a project of diversity, celebrating differences throug a pastel-art craft. The tracing of the hands, and coloring carefully is just the very 1st step to this craft.

Have a fabulous weekend, enjoy this beautiful weather.
