Goodbye 2018, Hello 2019

As 2018 comes to a close and we look to 2019 I can't help but smile. 2018 has been an incredible year with starting kindergarten, creating a classroom environment based on kindness and respect and the growth in learning not only academically but socially and emotionally we have covered a lot of ground. Even though we have accomplished so much there is still a long way to go. I am excited by and celebrate the amazing accomplishments we have achieved and also look forward to seeing the growth we make in 2019. As I have said before it is an incredible honor to teach your child and I am forever grateful to you for entrusting me with one of your greatest treasures. I wish you a happy and peaceful vacation and New Year.

Two creations are coming home today. The first is a 2019 calendar. We have been working hard on our number writing and wanted to show off our skills. Not all of the months are completed yet, but don't worry as soon as they are done completed months will be sent home in Thursday Folders. The second is a framed silhouette. We hope you love each creation as much as we do!

I wish you well.

Love,

Miss Brehm

First Day Fun!

Today was a wonderful day! We had fun exploring our classroom, learning different expectations and just getting to know one another! We enjoyed our first special today LIBRARY! Mrs. Burroughs is so nice and we enjoyed our time together. As a class we read the book Shh We Have a Plan by Chris Haughton. It is a wonderful book that we will be creating our first classroom book about! In the whirl of the end of day I forgot to send home the first day letters with our schedule. I will make sure to get them home tomorrow in Thursday folders. I am so happy that we are all together! I can't wait to see what this year has in store for us! Love, Miss Brehm

PAINT DAY!

Paint is READY! We are SO excited to meet Mary and paint our elephant!! ____________________________ Today was AMAZING! It surpassed all my wildest dreams! As a group we had SO much fun creating and painting our elephants! What an amazing experience it was to end our year together on! I hope you enjoy the pictures and are able to come and check out the wonderful elephants we created with MARY! Our morning started with Mary sharing what she does and different murals she has done throughout the US. Then we watched a quick video of her time in Chester, PA painting elephants! Then we started to PAINT! Here is the evolution of our elephants! To the finished product! One elephant will be hung in our classroom and the other will be hung somewhere in the school for everyone to enjoy! A truly AMAZING day! I wish you well! Love, Miss Brehm
