Our First Class Pictures!

Friday we attempted to take our first class pictures. They turned out so cute! We definately have a cute group!

This picture reflects our class so perfectly. Ha! Ha! Love it!

Our entire group. So sweet!

Group funny picture!

Friendship Bracelets!

For Fun Fantastic Friday, we focused on friendship. In current events, we read an article about the friendship between a whale and a few photographers who saved him from fishing nets. We then watched a video of the whale saying "Thank you". In Health, we learned about develping personal goals such as making and keeping friends. Mrs. Stowe then arranged for us to make beautiful friendship bracelets. Thanks Mrs. Stowe!

They were so creative and made some beautiful bracelets!

Off to a Great Start!

I cannot brag on these kiddos enough! I am just so proud of them. Every morning, since the 2nd day of school, every student has been given some sort of writing task. I cannot believe the progress, ALREADY, that has been made on their writing skills.

On this morning, I gave this group (Eliana, Jeremy, Draylan, and Tony) the task of completing their vocabulary journals WITHOUT MY HELP! In other words, they had to reference the vocabulary wall, find the correct picture/ word to match the picture in their vocabulary book, determine how to spell the word, and write it in the appropriate place in their vocabulary book. That's a tough task. However, they were ready to go!

I gave them the yard stick so that, once they found the appropriate word on the vocabulary wall, they could point it out for their friends! They all helped each other and did a great job working together.

Working hard!

This group (Tanayry, D'Andre, Enoch, and Santoes) worked with Ms. Malcom and Mrs. Stowe on labeling the pictures in their vocabulary journals. They worked so hard and did a great job!

D'Andre now gets straight to work when he sits at his desk. We are so proud of him!

Enoch has been working hard too!

Santoes looks tired. Ha! Ha!

We are so proud of all of our precious students! Their hard work is paying off! Way to go!

Charmed and 3 Very Special Visitors!

Last week, we had three very special visitors. Mrs. Stowe's sisters, Lee and Jerri, came by to visit us. Ms. Jerri lives in Madison, GA and Ms. Lee lives all the way in Connecticut. We were so happy to have them. They were so sweet and brought us lots of new prizes for our prize box!

Tanayry wasted no time welcoming our visitors. Ha! Ha!

Ms. Jerri volunteers to assist and take care of rescue dogs. She brought a very special rescue dog, named Charm, with her.

We all got to pet charm while Ms. Jerri talked to us about Charm's life as well as dog care.

I would say that Ms. Lee traveled all the way from Connecticut to see Santoes. Ha! Ha! She and Santoes are special friends! :-)

... and more visiting with Charm!

Mrs. Stowe and her sisters!

Before Ms. Jerri and Ms. Lee left, we all played a game of UNO with them!

Even Charm got to play! :-)

Thank you so much Ms. Lee and Ms. Jerri for visiting with us and for the fun prize box prizes. We also loved meeting Charm and hope that she finds a great, forever home! See you soon!

Playground Fun!

Last week, I took the camera to the playground with us and took some great pictures of our cute kiddos!

Aren't they precious? :-)

UNO!

Every Friday, for Fun Fantastic Friday, we play UNO. It was a class favorite last year and it looks like our new friends like it just as much. They did great for their first time!

I guess you can tell who won! :-)
