Happy New Year & Welcome Back!!

Well, we are back! We have shared time with friends and fam and now we are back to the business of SCHOOL! I am excited to be back. Monday teachers returned to school for an hour inservice of Arkansas History. YAH DeSoto! The other 7 hours we got to work in our classrooms and prepared mentally for Tuesday the 4th.
Jan. is always a good month to review and retest to make sure the children are making progress. We(PK teachers) will be sending the progress reports home on the 10th. Check your child's folder.
Jan. 25 is class picture day. Another chance for Life Touch to take a great pic of your child. :)
Ms. Dortch and I are psyched to be back!!!!!!!!

Oh Santa

We Wish You A Merry Christmas

Our class had a great week!! We had so much fun at our Winter Party. Thank you parents for the gifts bought for the Secret Santa gift exchange. The kids were so patient waiting their turn to open their gifts. Our Polar Express day was even better. The kids enjoyed warm chocolate with marshmellows and candy canes. We had a special visitor during the movie. Santa came to tell us he has been watching us and he will see us on Christmas Eve. While we sleep he will slip our gifts under our tree.
Ms. Dortch and I feel very blessed to be at Roberts with our kids and their parents. We look forward to coming to work everyday. We love the kids and love being their teachers. We hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!

Twas the Week Before Christmas

The room is full of excitement as we prepare for the Christmas holiday.  This week our focus letter is Bb. We are discussing Christmas events, Santa's reindeer, and reading The Polar Express.  We are all very excited about exchanging gifts with our Secret Santa. We can't wait to do our crafts and drink hot chocolate. We are very excited that Eliza Jane's Pops came to our class to read The Cajun Night Before Christmas.  We learned how to say hello, goodbye, my name is and what's up? in French. Thank you Pops for our lesson.
Remember that school is out from Dec. 17th to January 4th.  That is just long enough to get out of the routine of school.  :)
