Week 32

"Inhale confidence, exhale doubt" 

~unknown~

We have such amazing kids who are all capable of doing amazing things inside and outside of the classroom. Let's make sure that we are telling our kids of their greatness each and every day! As educator and providers it's our duty to plant that confidence seed, water it each day, and watch it blossom into it's beauty! 

Jeopardy

As we were preparing for our math state test, I decided to engage the kids in a little friendly competition to test their knowledge. The kids were split into two groups and they played against each other to see who could get the most points! The kids enjoyed themselves, challenged themselves, and showed themselves that they could do it! I am so proud of their hard work!

Reading Is Our Greatest Luxury

Reading is everything in our classroom. With the stresses of State testing weighing on everyone we’re taken some extra time out of our day to just relax and read. Reading is one of the few times in life that we can escape reality and venture off to some foreign land or become a new person. The kids have been able to enjoy some extra time this week to read their own personal books and also to do some extra reading with their book club friends.

Tribute to Prince

Our kids were first introduced to Prince last year when our former classmate Nicholas researched him for a project. We’ve listened to many of his songs and learned about his many efforts to help better the our planet. So when we found out Prince had passed away, it was a sullen moment for all (perhaps more so for me). We took the time Friday to honor Prince by wearing purple and to take a closer look at his lyrics. The kids are very analytical and had many opinions on what his different songs meant.
