Paper, Paper Everywhere!

The kids have become so interested in making their own books, that I am running out of "extra" paper!  Anything that isn't on my desk, is fair game to them!  They love to staple them together and create stories!  I have refilled my stapler numerous times!  I will also need to go and scavange for more paper for the kids to use!  They have reminded me several times on Friday as all their paper is gone! YIKES!  Hopefully they are sharing their books and writings at home with you! :)

WOW! They are becoming readers!

Wow, they are becoming readers!  The kids are doing so great with their reading, learning sight words, concepts of print, etc....  They are making huge gains and love to meet with me during small group time!  They don't even want to take their books home. They want to leave them at school to reread!  Needless to say they were not happy with my on Friday, when I made them clean out their mailboxes!  They just had too many in there!  Some couldn't even shut their drawers they were so full!  I am so glad they are embracing learning how to read!  This is why I am so proud of this class! :)

The Kids Made Me Very Proud!

I just wanted to share the kids made me very proud on Friday!  They tried pulling April Fool's Pranks on me(yes they got me with the spider one!) :)  Their behavior was excellent and they got along so well!  They helped make it a better day than what it started out to be!  On Friday, the staff at Halverson found out their placements for next year!  It was a very tear filled day as we were trying to support each other!  The kids did a great job and even helped to make me smile!  I will miss Halverson and the kids that are there!  I will be moving to Lakeview next year to teach Kindergarten!
