A Fourth Gone By!

A fourth of what? A fourth of the 2013-14 school year, that's what!!! This week is the 9th week of school, which is completely unbelievable to me, but indeed it is! We have been up to a bunch of good stuff already this year, with a whole lot more to come! We already have three members in our 100 Club (which has been updated with new photos)! The kinders are so excited about getting to try out for this club. They ask DAILY if we can try again!

Last week was Fire Safety Week in Kindergarten, which culminated in a final presentation by the firefighters in our community. It was awesome! They were all super listeners for our guests. I hope they all enjoyed the surprise coloring and activity book that they were each given by the fire department for this special day. Our class was especially interested in the 'jaws of life' that were laying out by one of the trucks. They got a special explanation of what they were and how they are used. I am so thankful that our community has such great volunteers who are also willing to give of their time to help educate our children.

When you're this cute, there's always time to smile for the paparazzi, right?

I am so proud of this group of sweethearts! They are really working hard and have come a long way already.

It Was Just Plain Funny!

We were counting our way into the 100 Club. One student in particular was going pretty slowly. The counting was great til "five-tee." And so it went. "Five-tee-one, five-tee-two, and so on." I had to correct the student, and on the counting continued, until "snebenty." It was here that I couldn't make the correction. It was so darn cute!

So when the counting was finished, finally reaching 100...wait for it...another student shouted, with his hands lifted high, "Praise the Lord, ___ is done! ___ did it...___'s in the 100 Club! Halleluiah!!!" I almost fell in the floor I was laughing so hard. The 'counter' was beaming with pride, and the entire class began to cheer. It was a great day to count to 100!
