Day Two: Also a Success!

The kids are really excited about several things:

• they finished decorating their book boxes, and are relieved "their books finally have a place to go."
• we made it for an outside break after lunch today. yesterday it was pouring rain.
• they had their first gym class of the year and played an old favorite, "fastest tag in the west."
• they were excited to learn that their music teacher, Mrs. H. is expecting a baby.
  
• the Empty Bowls service project, and Friday in class cooking activities--see the sheet that went home in Wednesday folders for more information
• they can spell Mrs. Etshokin without looking:-) (Their teacher is happy about that too)
• we are getting into more of a routine, and the kids are getting to know more about their new teacher
• they got to see everyone's decision dollars design. the two winners will be posted tomorrow.
  

**Homework tonight: play outside, read for 20 minutes, and remember to bring in a free choice reading book if you don't already have a book to read**
