We love to read!

Anew shipment of Scholastic books came in yesterday. The kids and I both get so excited about this because we all get new things! They get new books for their house and I get new books for the classroom. Thank you to everyone that orders books! Remember that you can also purchase electronic games from the Click catalog and ebooks from Storia.


Although it was pretty warm today, signs of Fall are finally starting to show. Yeah! I LOVE Fall! So we went outside today to see how the trees are changing colors. We chose this big tree on our playground to observe as the seasons change through the year.


This afternoon we had a visit from our GT teacher, Mrs. Jenkins. She gave the kiddos animal cards that they used for a guessing game. Look for them in your child's backpack. You can play this guessing game at home with them by giving them clues to eliminate different animals form the pile.


We also had a vibist from Mr. John. He came to watch my class while I went to a very fast meeting. He told them a silly ghost story...look at how glued their eyes are on them! He also taught them the "Name Game" song....pretty stinkin' cute to hear a bunch of Kinders to sing "John, John, Bo, Bon..."!


Mrs. Hardin gave me this cute "Snacktivity " to use with Scrabble Cheezits today. Thanks to Wes' mom for reading my mind and magically sending them for snack this week!


Aaron was really concentrating on spelling with his snack.


Lezlie was so proud of herself when she realized that she spelled "tap".


These cuties earned a free Chick-Fil-A coupon for having perfect attendance (no tardies or absences) the first nine weeks of school. I know that's a hard thing to accomplish with little ones, so I'm really proud of them (and their parents) for meeting this goal! I can't wait to see who gets this award the 2nd nine weeks!

I hope y'all have a fantastic weekend and that everyone gets well! I've missed a lot of my friends this week!
