Back in the Saddle Again....

We are back in the groove of school work today!
 
Here is a bit about our day:
 
William was my special helper today!
He gets to be first in line, sit in a "special" seat at circle time,
help with lunch and anything else I need!
We take turns in alphabetical order,
that way everyone gets a turn!
We started Circle Time off with our daily
prayer and Pledge of Allegiance.
Then we sing our ABC's,
we count to 20 (for now),
we do our letter board,
and number flashcards!
Whew!
After ALL that,
we read this great book!
 

 
This week is mainly to get back in the swing of things,
but I normally focus on their names.
Name Recognition, how to spell their name, and
of course, writing their names!
 
I normally have colored cups for each child with their names.
The kids have memorized their "color" of cup,
not necessarily their NAME on their cup.
I put those away and wrote names on plain white cups.
This way the kids had to look at the spelling and
figure out which is theirs.
It worked great!
The kids really looked at them and helped each other!
 

 
We then practiced tracing our names.
I was really impressed with how the kids did this as well!
 




 
After school time, we spent some great time outside!
It was lovely this morning!







 



After nap, we celebrated Gavin's 3rd birthday!
His momma brought cake and capri sun, and Gavin's
Nonna came to the party and brought Doritos!
It hit the spot! 
 
Today was our big kids' first day of school,
so we decided to walk down and meet them off the bus!




We were so excited to see Kasen!

 
I think he had a great first day!
 
 
I have and will continue to pray for our students
and teachers as we go through this school year,
What a big task they have!
 

Instruct the wise and they will be wise still;
teach the righteous and they will add to their learning
Proverbs 9:9
 
With Love, Mrs. Melea
