Terrific Tuesday

Dear Parents,

The first week of February has started out great for us.  We are now reading the Kissing Hand by Audrey Penn and practicing the Georgie Porgie Nursery Rhyme.  On Monday the kids measured laminated hearts using cubes.  They would put the blocks on the black line and count the number of blocks they see.  In Art  we finished our snowman art work with faces and body parts.  Today the morning group worked on Valentine Day hand puppets and making the special cards we will be mailing with the envelopes you sent in.  Today the afternoon group focused on the concept of big and little and practiced sorting pictures.

Also now joining us is Catilin Moreau from Georgia State one day a week.  On Wednesday Caitilin will come in and help support the students.

Here is a brief blurb from Catilin.

Hi!  My name is Caitlin Moreau and I am a student teacher from Georgia State University.  I am very excited to be joining Mrs. Massey on Wednesdays.  This will be a great experience and I hope to learn a lot while enjoying my time here.  A big thanks to Mrs. Massey and the class for letting me join in!
