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

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

Sunshine Chair

This is our Sunshine Chair! It is a very special place in our classroom where friends can go to relax, regroup, think and feel safe. In our classroom anyone can go and sit in the sunshine chair any time they want. Friends also may be invited to sit in the sunshine chair. While sitting in the chair friends are able to watch Zogika and calm their minds. It is not just for students! I myself have used the chair once or twice when I am feeling frustrated, sad or if I just need some space. I do this to model the expectations for how to use the sunshine chair, to identify feelings and to help friends self regulate. Also so friends know that it is not a time out chair or take a break chair. Feel free to stop by anytime and check out this amazing space in our classroom! Love, Miss Brehm

Happy News!

Hello! I wanted to share with everyone that I have been accepted into Oxford University's MSc in Applied Linguistics and Second Language Acquisition beginning in the fall of 2017. I received my offer this morning during our delayed opening. Some friends overheard my excitement and I explained to them that I am going back to school this fall to become a better teacher. I reassured them that I am not going anywhere right now, will see them off to first grade and will be back. Thank you for your continued support and I am excited to finish a great year together! Love, Miss Brehm
