What a great first day and a half we have had! We are getting to know each other's names and making friends. This is a great group of children and I am so looking forward to this school year. Here are some notes about this week, as well as a few reminders. Remember to feel free to email me any questions you may have.
Monday
Our first day!
Tuesday
Today we had our first full day. We did a lot too! The room wasn't too warm, and we were able to do a lot of work today. This week and next each day we will be learning about a different color. Today we learned about the color RED! We played I Spy and found items in the room that were red, everyone did a great job. We also voted on a name for our pet Hermit Crab. His name is now Kerbie! He even came out of his shell today to visit with us!
