Stop, Drop, and Roll

We were surprised to see a female firefighter.  They loved her!

Take one..

Take two...

I had to capture this picture with his sunglasses on.  How adorable!

They sleep upside down...

 BATS!!!!!

The kiddos are going "batty" over bats this Fall season.  I thought the bats turned out so cute:)

Fall Festival

Our Fall Festival turned out to be successful!  From our booth to all of the fun activities that were offered, the kiddos definitely enjoyed.  Thank you to all who participated in helping with our booth!  We really appreciate your support and love for our class and school!!  Here are a few pictures...enjoy:)

This was my Willow House booth I sat up at the Fall Festival.  I enjoyed meeting people as well as seeing all the kiddos!  The candy corn was very popular at my booth:)

Thank you so much, Hayden, for all of your hard work in making our booth happen.  

I thought our booth was one of the cutest ones there!

My husband actually made this tree for our booth.  I thought it turned out well!

Book Buddies

Every year we have book buddies from 3rd grade who come read to our Kindergarten classes.  Last week I decided to take some pictures.  They are so sweet.  My class really enjoys their buddy coming in to read to them.  They get so quiet and think it's such a big deal.  Too cute!

Hopefully I didn't miss anyone!

Circle Time

So, I had to post this one.  We have a calendar helper each week and on this particular day I decided to step back and observe, while snapping a few shots.  At this age, the kiddos love to be in charge or feel like they are an adult.  They love role play, which is why I have these particular jobs.  I thought this picture was priceless.  She's in charge and they are all listening.  They all know what to do.  If the leader messes up, the other kiddos tell her.  So cute!  Enjoy:)

Important Reminders

1.  School picture forms are due tomorrow:)
2.  Your child has now completed the Letterbooks C, O, G, and A.  We are beginning letter D tomorrow.  Please continue to review these sounds and make sure they recognize the letters.
3.  In Math, your child should be close to recognizing all numbers 1-10.  We began time to the hour on Friday.  They are eager to understand this concept.  Please make them aware of time in any way you can right now.

For example, ask them:

• What time is it when they are going to bed, waking up, leaving for school, arrive at school?
• Talk about how long it takes to get to school from your house.

They know that we start school at 8:00, go to recess at 9:00, go to specials at 9:30, and leave school at 12:00.  They almost all know how to read a digital clock.  We are talking about the short hand goes on the hour you are talking about and the long hand goes "straight up" on the 12.  Just use anyway you can to keep them aware!

Watch out though, they might keep you on your toes if you are running late:) haha.

Have a great week!  FYI, I will be scheduling conferences toward the middle to end of the month to inform you of your child's progress thus far.

Monday, October 4th

Just a reminder that there will be NO SCHOOL tomorrow.  I hope you all enjoy the day off:)  See you Tuesday!
