Keeping Faith.

Good afternoon, 

I have been sitting for over an hour now just looking at the screen trying to think of something I can say about our week in preschool. Unfortunately, my mind is completely refusing to shy away from the news updates referring to the mass Elementary school shooting that took place in Newtown, Connecticut earlier this morning. 

The only homework I am giving for the weekend is to go home and cuddle your child. Tell them how much you love them and please say a prayer for anyone linked to the shooting. I can not even comprehend what they must be going through on this tragic day. I can only thank god that all of your children are alive and well. However, I morn for each  innocent life that was lost today. 

"You can do more than pray after you have prayed; but you can never do more than pray until you have prayed."  A.J. Gordon 

God's Peace.

Hey Diddle Diddle.

Happy Holidays Everyone! 

I have found it especially easy to get into the holiday spirit now that we finally have our "Winter Wonderland". The kids were so excited as we were counting down the few short weeks until Christmas is here. 

Speaking of Christmas, I would like to thank you and your families for making it to our annual Christmas party yesterday. It is always so much fun to have all of the kids together in one room and watch as the parents were able to sit back and socialize. Mary, has always done such a beautiful job at making the night one to remember. 

Aside from all of the holiday talk lets get back to why you are all here. 

Today in preschool, we had a very special day! One of my favorites in fact. We spent the morning going over our very favorite nursery rhymes. We started by memorizing "The cow jumped over the moon" and then went onto "Twinkle Twinkle little star". With each new rhyme that we learned we also made crafts that we motioned along while singing aloud the silly songs. 

As our next activity the kids we able to make there very own Nursery rhyme books. Each book was full of my favorite mother goose rhymes. The whole lesson of the day turned to be such a success. I don't think the kids even knew that they were learning with all of the fun that we were having! 

Homework: At bed time this week I challenge you to chant a new nursery rhyme everyday. Its a great memorization tool to use with your child and has endless possibilities for fun! 

If you want to take your learning to the next level go onto www.pinterest.com, type in nursery rhymes and let your creative juices flow! 

Thanks again for reading!

Review of November.

Review day!!

With every new month comes a set of new changes! 
Today in school we put our minds to the ultimate test to see what we could remember from the month of November. 

Below is a list of everything that we covered in the previous month;

• Colors: Brown and Orange
• Pattern: A,A,B
• Number: 4 
• Letters: E, G, L
• Shape: Squares
• Monthly themes:  our 5 senses, and Thanksgiving (with our thanksgiving theme we covered a lot on Pilgrims and their history)

After the kids had there full share of review they were rewarded by spending the rest of our morning chanting some of there favorite nursery rhymes and making funny little puppy masks. All in all resulting to be a pretty fun day in preschool. 

Homework: periodically look back on my posts of review days and see how much your child remembers. Its one thing for a child to learn something, its an entirely different thing for a child to retain that information. Also, as you all know the cold and flu season is in full blast at Mary's this week! To keep your little one as healthy as possible make sure they are washing there hands frequently, getting plenty of rest, and please if you notice fingers or toys in the month explain germs and how by doing so can make others sick! This has been some what of an issue and we are really trying to crack down to stop it. All we want is happy, healthy, kids. 
Thanks for reading!

5 Senses.

Hello Everybody! 
I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving break and didn't have too hard of a time getting back in the swing of things after having a few days off. 
Today in school we jumped right back into our learning and really got a lot accomplished. We started out our day by creating pattern strips using our A, A, B or orange, brown, brown pattern for the month of November. 
Keeping our color pattern in mind we then went to work at making a book of things that we identified as either brown or orange. 

Shifting away from the patterns for the day I then introduced the book "My five Senses". This was the perfect way to jump start our new topic that we will be covering for the next few days. After reading the book I then worked on explaining what each of our senses is used for and where we use them. The kids got a better grasp on there senses when we did our hearing exercise. This was a simple exercise  where they were given various bottles with different products inside. They were then instructed to shake the bottle and try and guess what was inside based on the sound that it made.  Homework: for the rest of the week try and be aware of times you can bring up what sense your child may be using. For example when you are eating dinner ask what one of their senses they are using to eat there food. To take there learning a step further here is a great website of  different games you can play using your five senses. I hope you check it out! http://www.littlegiraffes.com/fivesenses.html 

To finish up our day at preschool we put our creative caps on and went to work. Each child was given lots of squares varying in size and color. The only direction they were then given was to create there own personal collage. This was a fun task that they really seemed to enjoy because it gave them the chance to use there imaginations.  
All in all today turned out to be a successful day! 
I hope all of your days ended with the same feeling. 
Until next time!

Gobble, Gobble.

Albuquerque is a turkey,
And he's feathered and he's fine.
And he wobbles, and he gobbles,
And he's absolutely mine.

He's the best pet that you can get,
Better than a dog or cat.
Albuquerque, he's my turkey,
And I'm awfully glad of that.

Albuquerque, he's my turkey,
He's so cozy in his bed,
Because for our Thanksgiving dinner,
We had scrambled eggs instead.  

Good afternoon folks!  

The day has finally come! It is Wednesday, our final day before Thanksgiving break! Yay! 

Above is a silly song that has been chanted everyday for the past couple of days. The kids have been hard at work trying to get each line memorized and most actually do pretty well with it. Tomorrow if you are in need for some Thanksgiving day entertainment, prompt the kids to sing aloud there silly turkey song. And thanks to me, you now have no excuses for not being able to join in...your welcome=)

As you can imagine our week in preschool has been packed to the brim with thanksgiving activity's. Below is just a portion of the things we got accomplished this week. 

We crafted turkeys using our footprints as the body and our hands as the feathers. This was such a fun activity and the kids loved that there turkeys were made solely from them. After that we moved onto making a new page in our " Thankful books" There job was to make a picture of everything they thought would be served at  thanksgiving dinner. For snack we made cornucopias made from waffle cones and filled it with yummy goodies.  Aside from all of our thanksgiving crafts we also we able to read a ton of books that went along with our theme. All in all succeeding at having a great that I am greatly thankful for. 

Thank you for reading and I hope all of you have a wonderful thanksgiving! I wish you safe travels and full bellies. Happy Holidays!

Warmly, 

Megan. 

                                                                                                               

Changes.

Yesterday, was a day full of  fun and exciting changes. We opened our eyes to find the cold and white surprise of snow! Now, the first snow fall of the year was not the only thing that made our Monday morning special. November 12, 2012 also marked a day of remembrance all across the world. To commemorate veterans day at preschool we worked hard at making beautiful american flag head bands. While the kids crafted, I went on to tell the story of how we came about veterans day and what meaning the day holds. I giggled as the children gasped when they were told that we have been celebrating Veterans day sense the day world war one ended way back in 1918. Which was 94 years ago, and makes Vets day older than all of there grandparents.

 After our veterans day lesson was over we then turned our attention back to our thanksgiving day theme. We started by adding another page to  our "what we are thankful for" booklets. This week we added a picture of the family that we are thankful for. These booklets have not been sent home yet and are being used to track your child's progress.

Continuing on with our theme we then set off to work at making helping hand coupon books. The kids were given the task to come up with a list of things they could do on thanksgiving to help there family. The turkey coupons that were sent home yesterday represent that promise. If you can, try to hold your child accountable for the promise they made to you on there coupon. It is never to early to start stressing responsibility!

Homework: Each child was sent home with a picture of a turkey and a baggie of tail feathers and numbers. Instruct your child to put thus many feathers on there turkey along with the correct number on top. Tip: try and mix colors up frequently by saying; I want you to put four orange feathers and three red on your turkey. You can also have then subtract so many from the turkey as well. This will not only work on there counting skills but help them learn to fallow directions better.

Thanks for reading. Have a great day!

Sunny Sunshine!

Hey, Hey, Its a sunny day! 

Today in school we continued on with our learning. We started off the day by going over the days of the week, and practicing our orange, brown, brown, pattern of the month. We then moved onto learning the number four. To which we studied by making a list of things that there were four of, such as how many legs are on a chair, how many wheels are there on a car, exc. As always we then went onto making our paper four's that we colored orange and decorated with four fuzzy black balls. 

To end out the day we flashed back to yesterday and continued working on our letter (L's). We did this by completing two worksheets showing us how to properly write capital and lowercase (L's). 

Homework: Sit down with your child and practice the days of the week. A lot of the kids (specifically the younger ones) have been struggling with this some and could use a little practice. 

Have a great day!

Giggles.

We've got ANOTHER holiday to worry about. It seems Thanksgiving Day is upon us. -Charlie Brown

Today on this fine Wednesday afternoon I sat in the presence of your children and watched as there eyes lit up with the mention that thanksgiving is near. To accommodate our up and coming holiday we have set off on a thanksgiving expedition. To sound off our ride we started by creating our very own versions of the Mayflower. We also spent time talking about how it took 65 whole days to sail from England on the Mayflower. Another fun craft we went on to explore today was our hand sewn canoes. Now, when I say that they were hand sewn of course I mean using paper and yarn. I mean we are talking of preschoolers here=) 

While the kids were hard at work decorating there crafted canoes we settled down for a true story  written by a pilgrim child. The story told of the voyage the little girl and her family made on there trip here to america. I found it so interesting how kids were able to show there emotion when they heard how different they were from the girl, yet they were still similar in many different ways. 

After our story we took a small break from our thanksgiving talk and went onto learning the letter (L). We started out by making a long list of everything we could think of that started with L, all while coloring our paper L's. 

To end our day the kids were told to draw and color a picture of a good friend that they were thankful for. This lesson ended to be a quite humorous one as I looked onto everyone's pictures. At one point I stopped and asked one student who his special friend was? (He had drawn a picture of a circle monster looking guy, with one eye, a small horn, and green skin). He then replied by saying that he was thankful for his friend Mike Wazowski......if you don't already know this is a monster from the movie Monsters inc. All I could think of was wow,the things that some kids think of. The best part was that the drawing was extremely accurate. 

Thanks again for reading! I'm having such a good time with all of your children. You would be shocked how many times I am caught giggling in class lately just thinking about some of the things that go on in preschool. I need to start video tapping classes and sending them to Americas funniest home videos!

Have a great day!

Recap.

Happy Friday All! 

Hope everyone had a great week! Here at Mary's we have had a fun packed few days in celebration of Halloween! While it has been a little crazy I wouldn't have changed a minute of it for the world. Wednesday, in preschool we of course had to focus our theme of the day on nothing but Halloween.  We celebrated by making our very own pumpkin men while filling the room with wonderful sounds of  a funny Halloween song. As part of our lesson we worked on letter's H, O, and P, along with number three. After our work was done      we circled up for good old story time. We read one of my childhood favorites "Corduroys best Halloween Ever"  along with "Clifford's first Halloween." In days prior to Halloween I worried a tad that the kids attention spans would be off the wall and no work would be done but honestly it was one of our better days in preschool. I did however learn that it is  the day AFTER Halloween I need to be afraid of.
For our lesson Thursday (November 1st)  we had a simple review day..at least we tried. Together we went over everything that we had learned in the month of October. Now the kids weren't  necessarily naughty per say, we just had an interesting mixture of overly hyper kids who didn't get not enough sleep....not a fun combination in my mind. However, we toughed it out and got our work done. All in all it was a great week! 

Have a great weekend! Stay warm! I hear we are in for our first snow fall of the year. 
Thanks for reading!

Size and Shape.

Halloween Countdown: Two more days!!

In school today we talked about sizes and shape. We learned the differences by putting together a pumpkin book.With each page we talked about what made that pumpkin special based off of the way it was formed. Another activity we worked on today was sizing our rectangles. Every child was given a handful of rectangles in all different sizes. They took those pieces and found where they fit on there paper, they then worked on gluing each one down where they belonged. You can easily work on learning sizes from home. Here is a great web sight with a ton of fun actives to show how to practice leaning about sizes.  Check it out at: http://www.ideasforpreschoolers.com/size.

Practice, Practice, Practice! 

Have a great day!

5 Little Pumpkins

One week until Halloween!!

Today in preschool we continued on with our pumpkin lesson from yesterday. The kids had a great time making their very own book on the growth of pumpkins. In there books each page resembled a new stage in a pumpkins life. Our first page showed how a pumpkin started out as a tiny little seed and  then eventually grew over time just like they do. 

After our lesson on the growth stages of a pumpkin we moved onto making pumpkin patches based off of the book "The Five Little Pumpkins". I found it pretty funny how most of the kids knew what was happening in the book before I would even read it...clearly "The Five Little Pumpkins" was proven to be a Halloween favorite!

Baby News: 

Shying away from preschool a tab today I sat all of the one year old's down in a circle and we had our own session of "school".

As I read aloud Elmo's version of "Eyes, Nose, Fingers, and Toes" I had the little ones mimic my movement and point to the body part I read aloud. This as you can imagine was pretty funny. At one point I even had a little girl go around the circle and point out everyone else's eyes and nose after she had just found her own. Doing this together also gave them practice on how to say the words. We worked a lot on breaking down the word so they could get used to the feeling it made on there lips. 

Thanks for reading! Have a great day!

Pumpkins!

HALLOWEEN COUNTDOWN: TEN DAYS REMAINING!! 

Oh, Oh, Oh, Its a jolly old day for a pumpkin! WOOOOOO! 
Hello, I hope all of you have had a great day. Hopefully you and the kids aren't too tired from our first day back after having such a long weekend with MEA. Today in preschool we had a pretty fun topic to hold everyone's attention; Pumpkins! 
We did pumpkin everything  We started out the day by talking about our pumpkins that we have at home. This discussion included going around the table and saying if your pumpkin was big, small, fat, or thin. Then we went onto learning a brand new pumpkin song,making our very own jack o lanterns, and talking about what letter pumpkin started with. Which then led to focusing on our letter P for the day. We chose the colors pink and purple to color our letter P's and then really got creative by adding polka dots! (I bet you can make the connection) As an extra special treat the kids even got to indulge themselves with a perfect mid-morning snack of popcorn. YUM! 
After our treat we went back to talking of pumpkins and worked on listing everything that a pumpkin can be made into. While we brainstormed the kids listened to a story on the circle of life for a pumpkin. I even found this interesting and wanted to learn more myself. Did you know you can grow a  natural blue pumpkin! Look at this web sight if you want to learn more. I found it pretty interesting. http://www.sensationalcolor.com/color-for-your-home-garden/outdoor-living/the-many-colors-of-pumpkins.html 

Homework for the week: If you don't already have a pumpkin at home make a trip to the store and carve or decorate your pumpkin. If you want to take the craft one step further find a fun recipe that would use your pumpkin ( the kids should be able to tell you plenty!)
If purchasing a pumpkin isn't for you don't worry you still have other options. Here is a fun web sight with a list of Halloween crafts you can make from everyday household items. Get creative!! http://www.craftelf.com/halloween-crafts-3.html 

Thank for reading! Have a great day!
Ten more days until Halloween!! Yay!

Fire!

Stop! Drop! and Roll!

Get Low! and GO! 

These were the chants Mary and I worked on embedding into your preschoolers minds yesterday. If you don't already know, this month is fire safety month and fire safety is exactly what we have been focusing in on this week.  For our craft we made our very own fire trucks, along with play cell phones where we practiced dialing our emergency number (9-1-1).  I did my very best to emphasize that 9-1-1 can only be called in a real emergency, so please do not blame me if there is an incident with dialing the number themselves. 

Homework: Fire safety is extremely important. Having a plan of what to do in case of an emergency in your home  is crucial to keeping your family safe! Together sit down and draw out a plan of what to do and where to go in case of an emergency. Make a set "safe zone" to go if there is ever a fire in your house. Also, evaluate how well your child knows important information like there address, phone number, and emergency contacts in case they were ever lost and you weren't around.  I know this may sound like a lot but it really is important, and you will be so grateful you took the time to go over it all if something ever were to happen. 

Have a great weekend, and stay safe!

Community Helpers

Happy Monday Everyone!

This week at preschool we have been spending our time talking of the wonderful community helpers we see around town. Towards the end of the week last week we covered the duties of dentists, librarians, doctors, nurses, teachers, and firemen. Today we continued our community helper lesson by talking about police officers. Our lesson included making our very own police man hats and discussing the duties of the job. At one point in the day the realization dawned on the kids of how everybody at the table had a parent who acted as a helper to the community, and oh boy were they excited! They were just giddy at the idea that their very own mom's and dad's were the same kind of helpers we have been discussing all week! 
Aside from our community helper lesson we also learned  about letter H.  Thankfully this was one of the easier letters to write, so the kids took pride in the fact that they were able to make them all by themselves.
Notice: Starting this week each child will be given a weekly job that they will be responsible for. I'm hoping this will bring forth a sense of accomplishment as well as show the importance of being a good helper to others. 
Homework: Talk with your child what things they can do for you around the house. By adding in responsibilities now your not only setting your child up to be a good person but it will also lessen your work load. 
Have a great rest of the day! 

-Megan

Review Day

Review Day! Yay!

Today as we bring in the new month of October, your preschoolers and I took a few steps back and reviewed everything that they learned within the past month. It was quite interesting to watch the little faces each child made as they tried to recall everything that they learned a month ago.  Here is just a refresher on some of the things we really focused on.

Review of September:

·    Letters: A, F, M

·    Numbers: one and two

·    Colors: Red and Yellow

·    Pattern: A, B

Tonight’s Homework:

Each child was sent home with a parent letter instructing different ideas on how to continue their child’s learning from home. The more you review with them the better they will be able to understand each lesson.  

Helpful Tip: Store your review sheet somewhere safe and come back to it periodically as the year progresses. It will be fun to watch the progress each child makes along the way.

If you have any questions about how your child may be changing or certain behaviors you’re unsure about, take a look at this developmental website. I found it pretty useful; I hope you have the same luck.

Happy Monday!

Two, A, Apple.

Hello,

I hope you are having a great week! I apologize it has been so long sense my last post. It has been crazy these past few days!  Here is just a small recap of everything that we accomplished here at preschool this week.

Monday: Letter A! We practiced making our big and little A’s. Along with gluing alphabet noodles onto our big A’s as a fun craft for the day. Another notable lesson we learned today was fallowing directions to make a picture. I started by giving simple directions like to circle the left balloon and then color one red and one yellow. You can continue doing this from home by giving step by step directions to complete a special task. I guarantee your preschooler will be delighted when the task is finished and there able to say that they did it all by themselves.

Wednesday: Number Two! Today we focused on number two. We started out the day by coloring our cardboard two’s and then taking pipe cleaners and bending them into the shape of a two. While we worked on our craft we came up with everything that we have two of. After that was done we moved away from the number two and made our red and yellow pattern sticks. This turned out to be a fun task to watch everyone concentrate so hard on alternating between red and yellow.  

Thursday: Today we talked about Johnny Appleseed! We opened up the day by discussing what our favorite color apples were and then we took a look at the inside of an apple. After some pretty intense investigating we decided that the shape reminded us of a star. We then moved onto making our own paper apples along with reading “The Dappled Apple” and “The Apple Book”.  My favorite part of the day was talking about the story of Johnny Appleseed and his memorable choice of hat. The kids thought it was pretty silly that someone would wear a pot on top of his head. Happy Birthday Johnny Appleseed!

Here is a little poem we learned today in school!

-A little red apple 
Hung high in a tree. 
I looked up at it, 
And it looked down at me. 
"Come down, please," I called. 
And what do you suppose? 
That little red apple 
Dropped right on my nose!

Have a great weekend! See you all on Monday!

FALL!!

Ah autumn is in the air, and while the leaves are turning and the air is cooling your children are learning! Today as we were counting down the final days of summer you could just see the anticipation growing as we got closer and closer to Saturday, our first day of fall! So, of course we decided there were no better colors to study then those that we see falling from our trees. To start off our Wednesday morning we opened our crayon boxes and put our reds and yellows to work. Shying away from the word fall for a while we turned our attention to all the things around us that are red and yellow. Each student completed their very own book of red and yellow things that included a heart, bus, banana, stop sign, corn on the cob, and lips. While making our pictures into an actual book I had the pleasure of working one on one with some of the children on how to use their scissors ( my goal is that by Christmas everyone will be able to work a scissors on their own). Next we went back to our fall centered lessons and listed off everything that we are able to do this time of year that we can’t in all the other seasons.  Together our list amounted to jumping in leaf piles, visiting pumpkin patches and apple orchards, eating pumpkin pies and my personal favorite celebrating Halloween and Thanksgiving (or better known in their minds; Turkey Day).  Next we moved on to our bigger craft of the day and made the most adorable wind socks! The kids really had fun gluing all the colorful leaves on and getting to see how a bunch of little things can turn out to make such a cool project! They even asked if that could hang there wind socks outside for everyone to see but then had to be reminded that they were made of paper, and the wind and rain probably wouldn’t be very kind to their wonderful masterpieces. Once our windsocks were all put together and everyone was situated we all went onto creating our flashy bracelets, sticking with our red and yellow patterns of course! The kids were pretty eager to show off their colorful new accessories to one another. I thought this was pretty cute especially because everyone’s was exactly the same, Ha-ha. As we completed the last few details of our project we all had the joy of singing along to the fun little book Kelsey brought along to share called “The leaves are falling one by one.” I was amazed how well everyone began to chime in on the silly song once they got the flow of the pattern of the book. Overall we had quite a successful day here at Mary’s!  My only hope is there energetic attitudes continue on throughout the year!
Thanks for reading! Now, get outside! It’s a beautiful, beautiful day!

F is For...

F is for….Family, Fish, Friends, Fruit, Fly, Fox….and Focus!

Hello, and happy Monday!

 If you haven’t been able to tell yet what our theme was today…you may need to get your eyes checked!

Today our theme was letter F! We started out the day by going around and saying what we like to do with our families, and then moved on to list everything that came to our minds that started with letter F. The first craft of the day was taking our cut out F’s and beautifying them with our little fingerprints. After getting all cleaned up from that we moved on to talking about how many people were in each of our families, which then led to my favorite craft of the year so far; family portraits! This I must say was a bit humorous to watch, but at the same time it was also so exciting to see everything a child picks up on. At one point in the activity one student in particular pointed out to me that they made daddy much bigger then mommy because really that’s how it was. As simple as that sounds it was invigorating to hear just how observant your children are and that they have the knowledge to put such details into their art work. One really awesome part of doing the family portraits today was that we will be doing the project once again later in the spring to show you how far your preschooler has come throughout the year! So if possible store there artwork that was sent home and come back to it later in the year, my hope is to absolutely blow you away with their progress!

Last but not least, our final topic of the day; Feelings! As you can imagine this was a pretty fun topic to cover here at Mary’s being that we have such dramatic, silly kids. We started out by giving each child a two sided face, one side wearing a happy smile and the other a gloomy sad frown. Then we went onto asking aloud various questions that could be answered by showing a happy face or a sad face. Here are just some examples: Grandma and Grandpa are coming for a visit, does this make you happy or sad? The bee stung you today while you were playing outside, would you have a sad face or a happy face when the bee stung you? And so on…

Finally we ended our Monday by chanting loudly “if you’re happy and you know it clap your hands!”

So now after hearing all about our day I hope you can bring your Monday to a close by ending the same way we did. “If you’re happy and you know it clap your hands!”

Thank you and goodnight!

Left foot. Right foot. Feet. Feet. Feet. =)

Oh Mr. Sun! Sun! Mr. Golden sun, please shine down on me!

Hello! Hope everyone is having a fabulous day and not letting these stubborn rain clouds above our heads affect us from having a bright and cheery Wednesday! Although, really who can complain we have had nothing but beautiful weather lately. In fact today was the very first day since we have started school that we have had to shade in the cloudy day box on our weather tracker! Hopefully our luck will continue on throughout our fall. Anyway, beside the weather we accomplished quite a bit today in school as you may have been able to tell with all the crafts your kiddos got sent home with. Here is sort of the play by play of how our school day went.

1.       We started school off by discussing what chores we can do to help our mom’s and dad’s.

2.       Today our theme was based on circles, what objects can make up a circle and where we may be able to find circles. This went along with the book your child brought home.

3.       Next we continued working on letter (M). Everyone completed a worksheet on how to make an (M) on their own. (If you’re looking for something to keep your child occupied I suggest having them sit down and work on writing there letters, some sort of struggled with this task.)  

4.       Left foot. Right foot. Feet, Feet, Feet! Oh my goodness were we excited about getting to tie our own shoes! We started off by first reading “The foot book” By: Dr. Seuss. Then everyone got the very own practice shoe where they were showed the shoe tying process. Super fun!

5.       The book “Let it fall “was read and we went over what new changes fall brings. It was fun to be able to hear their favorite things about fall. (Most included getting to jump in big piles of leaves. Shocker there=)

 Last but defiantly not least we closed off our lesson by going around the table and saying what makes each of us special and oh my goodness what I would have given to get that on video tape!  You should have seen your children; it was probably the sweetest most innocent thing I have seen in a very long time. We had answers ranging everywhere from I like to take baths, I’m good at coloring, I know how to play fun games, and my personal favorite I love my family.  Ah, it still to this day blows my mind how loving children can be, it is such an awesome opportunity to be able to share special moments like this with them.

Your child’s homework for this week is to:

·         Practice your letters! Specifically (M) if not all of them!

·         Work on tying their shoes by themselves ( I know most of the kids wear Velcro shoes however it is still a very important and useful  task for them to be able to do.

Thank you all for fallowing and I’ll see you tomorrow! Sweet dreams and goodnight!
