After a whirlwind of a summer, we are back in action for another fun-filled school year! Last Tuesday was our first day of school and we were very excited to greet our returning friends and welcome in our newest friends. Our newly promoted Pre-K students entered the classroom with a new sense of pride as they began their final year of preschool. I just have to say that this was one of the smoothest transitions to preschool we have had and I do believe I have the Pre-K kiddos to thank as they took our new friends right under their wing! Today ends week two of the 2017/2018 school year and we could not be happier to have a classroom full of chatter and laughter!
The children spent last week exploring the classroom and settling back into a routine all while learning about their new friends. This past week we dove right into portfolios to see how much everyone has grown in the past year. The children also had the opportunity to share a few of their favorite things from home. The children attentively listened to each classmate present their favorite things to the group. And finally, we welcomed Mr. Ed back to our classroom and we all had a blast singing and dancing along to his familiar tunes.
Have you heard about our "Good Citizen" Jar? A good citizen helps friends in the classroom, helps during cleanup time, helps keep our art supplies tidy, etc. Every time a teacher catches a student begin a good citizen, they get a gem to place in the jar. Once the jar is filled with gems, the students will have a pajama party at school! Everyone is so excited to fill the jar with gems that our classroom has been exceptionally tidy lately :) We are off to a great start!

Don't forget about our Little Free Library!
Have you gotten a chance to visit our Little Free Library? It's located just outside the front door to the building near the picnic table. Take a look and see what is there! Please remember that the LFL is run on a take a book/leave a book system. You are also welcome to borrow a book are return it when you are done. The idea is to keep books circulating around the community. Our LFL is looking to all of you for your generous donations! If you have books to donate, we are especially looking for children's book (board books are ok too!). Teen and adult books are always welcome as well! If you would like to label them with our LFL labels before adding them to the library please drop them off with the teachers and we will happily add them to the library for you. Thank you all for your support!
