Let them read to you or you read to them!  This is such a special  time of sharing books!

Good listeners are great learners!! 
Have a great weekend!

A FABULOUS FIRST DAY!!


FABULOUS First Day!

We had an amazing first day of school.  I am so blessed to have your sweet children in my room.  We spent some time getting to know each other and touring our school.  We visited our specialists and are so excited about beginning our regular routine tomorrow.  Thank you for your sweet notes and surprises but most of all for your prayers. I am very thankful for the family HE has created behind the blue door!  
Please note the following:
-Your child may need to bring a sweater or light jacket to keep 
  at school or in his/her backpack.  At times, our room may be
  chilly.

  7:30 with a teacher supervising, if you need to bring your child 
  earlier.
