Thursday

Today we got to spend time with our Buddies from Betsy's class(8-10 year-olds) for the first time. Each child was paired with one or two children from Betsy's class. The children in Betsy's class read to their Buddy in our class. They had a great time and made some new friends! We will continue this every Thursday.

We also took some time this morning to practice for their name skit. Name skits are tomorrow(Friday, 9/18) morning @ 10:30am on the blacktop right outside our classroom. All parents are welcome to come! We will perform first and it will take less than 5 minutes. If you can sneak away from work long enough, please do! Our class name goes together with Tulie's and Ruth Ann's, but that is the only hint you're getting other than wooden shoe. Can't figure it out? Come tomorrow to find out!

Your children may seem extra tired or cranky by the end of this week. This is completely normal and expected for children this age while adjusting to such a different routine. Their sleeping patterns will adjust soon! Many of them are napping long and hard during quiet rest. This must be the result of a busy, fun day.
