New Year

Hello!

It has been a busy start to 2019.

I had a short extension to my winter break with the unexpected passing of my grandmother. Mam (as I affectionately refer to her) passed just before the New Year. She was an incredible power house woman and I owe much of who I am to her.


Fortunately, I was able to attend the services and Vicki, Tia Ross, Ms. Hemingway, Mrs. Bahr and Mrs. Keller helped keep our class going. I am happy to report that we are now up and running at full gear, enjoying every moment together and back to our regular blog/insta/parent letters.

Lots of fun amazing things are happening in K right now. Today we started a project with Mr. Bouchard learning how to code! We have started with welcoming him into our class during math time working towards a culminating event where we program robots down in his enrichment room.



Over the past two weeks we have also made two new classroom books. At the end of January our school is participating in the kindness challenge! We decided to make a book all about kindness. This week we read the book it looked like spilt milk and spilt some milk (paint) of our own! Friends saw a fairy, elephant, lioness and more! It is a wonderful addition to our classroom library.

Next week starts our SNOW MOTION WEDNESDAYS! We will be up at Cochran Mountain for two hours. Please make sure friends come to school with WARM LAYERS! We are so excited to get on the mountain!

As of today we have been in school 83 days! WOW! That means our 100th day is fast approaching. We will have an in class celebration celebrating 100 days of learning together. (More info to come!)

On Thursday the 24th I will be sending out another classroom volunteer sign up. Please indicate your top three choices like last time. Again if none of the days/times work for you please just email me and we can figure something out.

Thank you for your understanding and support during this difficult time. I hope that you take the time to share with the special people in your life just how much you love them. Each day is a gift and I am reminded now more than ever how wonderful it is to share love with fourteen incredible tiny humans.

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
