December
November Wrap Up
- Watching close to 100 kindergarten students use the forest for a playground was truly one of my favorite all time kindergarten moments!
- Typically during the month of November one of my favorite moments is when I hear kinder voices reading familiar books and proclaiming proudly, "I can READ this book!"
- Listening to the different things Kindergartners are Thankful for!
Another reason to be Thankful!
I wanted to take a moment to Thank Mrs. Briggs for spending her internship in our classroom. She has been invaluable to me during the first few months of kindergarten, her time with is us is coming to a close, we will miss her.
