School days are here 2015

The year began with Michael missing the first week of Kindergarten due to being sick. UGHHH!!!

I know, back to school germs, gotta love them! The good part is it gave Penny a few days to get acclimated to the school without her brother, and she did fabulous!

"I love you brother"

I didn't even ask them to pose here, LOVE IT 

Penny gravitated as most of the young ones do to practical life. 

She was a master pourer ( spelling?) and button threader on day one! I'm hearing so much more about her day, its amazing the difference in the interaction between girls and boys. She sings the songs, has made some new friends, but still misses her mom and Miss Carolyn from time to time. ( who wouldn't right!! ha!) 

The kids were great and let the teachers take a pictures of them throughout the day to share with the moms and dads. 

2015/2016 room 2 class 

They had Music and Spanish the first week as well, The year is coming together with talk of Johnny Appleseed and working on treating other with kindness and respect. Each time a child is seen doing something helpful for another (without prompting) they are praised for their efforts. Both Michael and Penny have already been seen doing this - so proud of my helpful babies! Maria had it right, follow the child and they will do the rest. Ill be practicing that fro the rest of my life.....
