Mr. Squirrel

Welcome SQUIRREL


On the first day of school we read SHH We Have a Plan written by Chris Haughton. It is an awesome story about friends trying to catch a bird different ways and one friend out of the loop. The friend who is out of the loop is always saying “(h)i birdie!” and is always told to “SHH!”. He is eventually the one to “catch” not only one but what looks like hundreds of birds through an act of kindness. The story ends with them running away from the birds and finding a squirrel. It ends off leaving us hooked thinking about what they will do next.

That is where our book comes in! We thought about all the different ways we could catch a squirrel and illustrated them! Each student drew their illustration in pencil. Then Mrs. Bahr and I traced over their drawings with permanent marker, and then the students used watercolors. We bound these illustrations to create our own SHH book!

I want everyone to enjoy our book and our friend Mr. Squirrel at home! In a red and white spotted bag you will find the original SHH book, our classroom book, Mr. Squirrel and a home journal. This bag will come home with your child for TWO nights! If it comes home on a Monday please return Wednesday morning. If it comes home on a Wednesday please return on Friday morning. Please take pictures, have your child draw, scribe for your child or any other awesome idea you have! We want to share all the amazing adventures Mr. Squirrel goes on! I can’t wait to see what the year has in store for him!

 Have a wonderful weekend!

Love,
Miss Brehm

Day TWO!

Day two is truly wonderful! We have so much fun together! Today we started working on our first classroom book and WOW it's going to be AMAZING! So many beautiful illustrators and creative thinkers in this class. Also today we completed our first of many Math and Writing rotations. It's been a busy busy busy day! Now to the fun stuff. It's always said that pictures speak much louder than words and I agree 100%. So here are the pictures from our magnificent day TWO! Right after lunch we went outside to explore our school garden with Nurse Amy! We picked marigold seeds which we are going to plant in our classroom! Check out all the fun we had!  It was a busy day indeed, but so much fun! I can't wait for tomorrow! Love, Miss Brehm

In honor of my momma, Katrina Brehm, I am running a marathon. Crazy, I know. I got it from her. In Mom’s memory, my goal is to raise enough money to send a child to @camptakumta ! Please take a moment to check out the link in my bio and if you’re able to, give any amount. Thank you ☀️
