Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.” ― Albert Einstein

This week we are talking about imagination.  If your child comes home talking about monsters, which they probably will, please reassure them that monsters come from our imagination and are not real.  On Thursday we will be making monsters out of empty tissue boxes.  Each child needs to bring an empty tissue box to school on that day. It can be any shape of tissue box. If you happen to have  extra tissue boxes lying around please send them just in case some children forget one.  Thanks Miss Becky

Friendship Ice Cream

This Thursday we will be making Friendship Ice Cream.  Each child will bring an ingredient and we will make ice cream the old fashioned way.  Ok, I am not hand cranking it but that would be super cool.  The ingredient assignments are listed below.  Please bring your assigned ingredient to class on Thursday, not Wednesday as the calendar says.  Thanks for your help with this project.

The First Week of School

We had a fantastic first week of school. Everyone got along splendidly and made friends easily.  I appreciate the kids all being so nice to each other and including everyone.  We started learning how to locate the #2 position on a clock.  This will be essential for correct handwriting.  Please watch as your kids do their homework and reinforce starting on the 2 and circling around the clock counter clockwise.

Wednesdays are show and tell.  Since we have 13 kids I am going to divide the group in half.  Those students whose last names are A-C will start this Wednesday. Students whose last names are D-Z will be the following Wednesday.  Check the calendar if you forget which week we are on. The item they bring must fit in their backpack with the zipper zipped.

 I apologize for all the mosquitoes.  We have sprayed and will do so again this weekend.

Below are a few photos of our first week.  The last picture may explain why Beau won the award for most bites.  UGH!

Next week each child will be assigned an ingredient for making friendship ice cream.  Assignments will be made on Tuesday.  Please bring your ingredient to class on Wednesday.
