Happy Thanksgiving!

To celebrate Thanksgiving my kindergartners did a lot of fun projects. They made turkeys and wrote what they were thankful for, we read stories and talked about the pilgrims and indians and discussed traditions that they participate in on Thanksgiving. After I show you a few photos of the things they made I am going to list each student and what I am most thankful for about them.

Veteran's Day

Veteran's Day happened to fall on a Wednesday this year which meant my kindergarteners would be able to go to the annual Veteran's Day assembly that Melba has. Well, this year I was supposed to choose one kindergarten student from my class to say a few words up front during the assembly. Immediately I thought of Ally. She does a great job when she talks in the front of the classroom and she is loud enough and articulate enough for the audience to hear her. She did a great job and we were all very proud of her representing our class. I was also proud of the rest of my kindergarten class who sat through a hour and a half assembly without any restroom visits or extreme naughtiness.

Ally is waiting her turn at the mic. My camera died after this picture so I was unable to get a close-up of her saying her words. Sorry!!

November Students of the Week

So these two cuties are my students of the week for the month of November. Both Ally and Joshua exhibit all of the qualities to make them worthy of this award. They are both extremely well-behaved, treat everyone in the classroom with respect and seem to enjoy the educational process. I feel so blessed to have these two in my class this year.
