HAPPY THANKSGIVING

I want you to know how thankful I am for both of my classes.  I honestly love coming to work each day and seeing their sweet faces and hearing their stories.  These kids are fantastic and I was sad to have to leave them for a week.  I gave them all an extra hug on Friday, or at least triedJ.

I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving, take some time to relax and enjoy time with your family.  I know I will be doing the same.  I can't wait to get Nick home from college and to hang out as a family again for a few days. I’m sure he’ll be out and about with friends half the time,  but there is something about hearing him argue with his brother and seeing him half asleep on the couch with his phone in his hand and chips at his side, while the TV blares ESPN, that makes things feel right!

So far we have the following for our Angel:

1 pair of pajamas

One pair of pink tennis shoes

1 pair of Slipper socks

1 coat

Book - Dork Diaries- Tales from a Not-So Fabulous Life

Feeling a bit foggy on condensation?

We've been working hard on learning about the water cycle. Kids often have a hard time understanding that the water cycle is happening all around us. I love this video because it shows condensation in a relatable, real life example.
