A is for Arkansas Razorbacks

While studying the letter "A" this week, I encouraged everyone to wear their favorite Arkansas shirts today (and to cheer on the hogs this Saturday). Let's show our Arkansas Razorback spirit by wearing our best hog gear every Thursday during football season!

PE - Scoops and balls

Working on our gross motor skills today in PE with scoops and balls. Students worked with a partner to pass the ball back forth only using the scoop.

Owen, by Kevin Henkes

Today we read the story Owen by Kevin Henkes. The kids loved hearing about how Owen didn't want to leave his blanket home while he attended school. In the end, Owen's mother cut his blanket into small handkerchiefs so he could easily take a part of his blanket to school in his pocket. Each child in class is taking their own handkerchief home today. Look for it in their backpack.

Opening centers in the classroom

We've been talking and practicing the rules of centers in the classroom this week. Today we finally opened up them up, and the kids had such a good time. We will rotate throughout the various centers within the classroom next week taking turns in each one. There is so much to learn and explore!

Meet Coach Cameron

Today was our first time to attend PE and what fun we had! Coach Cameron got out the parachute for us. We practiced skills and learned a new game. Just a reminder, always wear tennis shoes on Tuesday as we will be moving and exercising in PE.

First Day of School 2018-2019

The first day of school was a huge success! What a sweet group of kids! Mrs. Dasu and I can't wait to get to know each and everyone of them better.
