Mommy's Classroom

Hanging out with Mommy in her classroom. The kids loved coloring on chart paper, and the first graders loved their masterpiece!

Goodnight Moon!

This is Palmer's new obsession! She loves reading Goodnight Moon and finding the "teeny, tiny mouse" on each page. Nothing better then a child right out of the tub in footed pjs! I love it!

Progress Report

We received Jackson's first progress report (report card) from school! It is quite humerus!

Here are some "Mastered Skills":

• "I accept and respond to my teacher's authority."
• "I am cheerful and happy at school."
• "Building with blocks" Surprise, surprise!
• "Puzzles"
• "Galloping"
• "Balances on L and R foot"
• "I know my colors, shapes, and body parts."
• "I am expanding my vocabulary."
• "I am a curious child."
• "I get involved in and attend to activities."
• " I participate in group singing."
• "I clean up my messes after my art projects."
• " I can go to the bathroom by myself."

*We are so proud of all of Jackson's hard work and accomplishments!

Here are some "Working on Skills":

• "I can follow directions."
• "I respect and show concern for people and things around me."
• "Manipulating zippers and buttons."
• "Hopping on one foot"
• "I listen quietly to stories."
• "My attention span is lengthening."
• "I wait for my turn when speaking in a group."
• "I make good use of free time."

* I would be curious to see how many boys in his class have a similar list!

I'm amazed everyday, how much Jackson has learned at school this year! He has come so far since the beginning of school! He can rattle off a list of opposites, knows some months of the year (not in order), some letter recognition (especially while driving down the road), all shapes and colors, his birthday (even though he wishes it was in October...don't ask me why!), the city we live in, and most importantly, his imagination now runs WILD!

Whew!

True Love!

They are the best of friends! Tell me it will last forever!

"Sweet Pea"

Palmer came home from school last Friday and said, "Go Away!" to Jackson. In total disbelief, I couldn't believe my ears! I thought, maybe that's just what I thought I heard... The weekend went on, and I heard it again, confirming that yes in deed that's what she said and meant! Now if anyone gets too close or tries to take something from her, she will let you have it, "Go Away!"

Where has my "Sweet Pea" gone?

Pris Pot!

P.J. Day

Last week, Jackson had "Wee Willie Winkie Day" aka P.J. day!

Don't we wish everyday was "Wee Willie Winkie Day"?
