I am putting together a bulletin board in the classroom that will help illustrate the seasons and will also help the children to take pride in all they learn and how much they grow over the course of the school year. As the children were not in school in the summer, I need your help in gathering pictures of the children participating in summer activities that can be hung on the bulletin board. Please send in 1 or 2 pictures of your child doing something “summery” from this past summer.
If you can not find any, I will try to get some pictures of them on the playground before the end of the month. Thank you very much for your help with this project.

Today’s post is coming before school starts for the day because after the kids leave, I have limited time to eat my lunch before running to another building for our afternoon of professional development…
I want to start by thanking everyone who has sent me emails this past week complimenting me on this blog. It really is a fun way for me to keep in contact with families since I don’t get to see you all each day. I did want to mention a few things about it though. If you have a question or comment about something I post, and it is not something child specific that needs to be kept private, you are more than welcome to click on the “No comments/1 comment/etc.” link at the top of each post (right under the post title) and post a comment right to the blog rather than sending me an email. Your question may be a question other parents have as well and if I can answer it once, that would be great. Also, it can be a nice open dialogue between all of us about things happening in the classroom. Don’t be surprised though it your comment doesn’t post immediately as I have to approve them in order to keep our comments spam free! The other thing I wanted to mention about the blog…while I have really enjoyed posting daily during these 2 short weeks, I will most likely have to cut back once the kids begin staying until 3:10 next week. With only a 30 minute special each day (and meetings being scheduled during some of those specials), my planning time is almost non-existent! My goal is to post once or twice a week. And if I slack and more than a week goes by without a post…you have my permission to email me a reminder to get on it!
Today, assuming all goes well 
, we will open the Dramatic Play center. The children did such a great job making choices of their own yesterday that we will continue to do so again today. We will also finish our class name chart. Have a great day!
