It was great to see everyone's' smiling faces after our break. The kids were excited to share snow stories with me. We had a very busy week getting back into the school routine. In the coming weeks we will be learning about holidays around the world. Thank you to all that took the time to answer the holiday survey. I want to make sure all holidays celebrated are represented. These next few weeks before the break are busy and fun. I will have lots of pictures to share. Here is the link if you missed it the first time.
We use dry erase markers very often. I have noticed that lots of kids are getting it on their clothes. We are now practicing setting it on the ground instead of our laps. It can be very stubborn to get out of clothes. I found this on pinterest of one mom's idea of how she was able to remove it. I thought I would share it with you in case you have stubborn dry erase stains too. I plan to keep some hairspray here at school so I can zap it super fast if someone does get it on their clothes. If you would prefer that I not use it on your child's clothes please let me know. I figured the faster we can get to it, the easier it would be to remove.
We started talking about service learning this week. We read several books where the characters are kids that help others. We made a fantastic list of ways that we would like to help. Stay tuned to find out what our service learning project will be!
