Pictures and Happenings Last Week

Last week was a short week, but it didn't stop us from learning and having a great time! The children were given more presentations, which led to added excitement in our room. Pre-K students are exploring more of the other areas of the room. Some of the favorite works are: Pink cubes, Constrictive Triangles, Sandpaper Letters and Spindle Box. Ask your child what is her/his new favorite work. The Kindergarten students started their work plans. They are striving to complete them at the end of the week. I confer with each child about their work plan and set a goal for the next week every Friday.

Class jobs are also growing. We now have barista and botanist jobs. Room 101 has been grinding our own coffee beans and serving teachers freshly brewed coffee in the afternoon. Thank you to Nyah Griffin for donating Dark Matter coffee beans and to the Mays family for the French press. This work is very popular as of the moment!

The Suder Jog-a-thon was a huge success! The children were very excited to see parents and friends cheer them on. Our Suder community was very evident during this event. I felt happiness and kindness all around. Thank you families for your never ending support!

For me, Soup Friday was my favorite part of last week. It was an impromptu decision to have some of the parents who walked back to school with the class join us at Sunset meeting. The children's efforts and hard work came full circle when they got to share the soup they made with you. They were so proud of themselves. =)
