Marble Jar Party II

We had an AWESOME party this morning at Bitterroot Gymnastics! Thanks to Libby, Mandi, and Amanda for volunteering their time (and energy) with us today. The kiddos had such a wonderful time and were so well behaved! I was very proud, and we had fun!

Announcements: We have a busy week this week! Tuesday we are celebrating a birthday in our classroom with some holiday cookie decorating and Wednesday we are celebrating our hard work with a marble jar party to Bitterrroot Gymnastics! We will be there from 9:30-11:45. 


This week I am starting to teach the children their addresses; please help me at home by making sure your child knows their full name and begin practicing their address with them.

I also do an out loud read at nap time and I just started James and the Giant Peach. I have read a few Roald Dahl books this year, and the kids have really enjoyed them.
