Grateful










The Sea Turtles has an amazing week full of fun activities. Throughout the month of November, everyday at circle time, we always say things we are grateful for. It is so endearing to hear the boys talk about family members (past and present), friends, their homes, food, and even their teacher :). Our thankful class book is just darling as the boys illustrated and wrote their own pages! 
Friday was our annual Thanksgiving luncheon, thank you all so much for your generous contributions!! The event was so successful and sweet. The boys were just adorable! 
This next week will be especially short as we will only meet Monday before breaking for Thanksgiving. 
See you Monday!
Love, Miss Meika

Lots of LOVE













The Sea Turtles had a wonderful week engaging in counting games and lots of art projects! They loved the native snake stick counting game which we played during circle time again and again :). We made colorful creations out of blueberries and raspberries. On Friday we made Zuni rain birds and the boys definitely thought it rained because of them! 
Thank you the moms who we were able to come in and help with the art canvases. I truly appreciate the help! Thank you also to Matt's sister, Monica and Connor's brother, Alex, who came into read to the Sea Turtles!
This next week we will be creating a class book of what we are thankful for and look forward to our annual Thanksgiving luncheon on Friday! 
See you Monday!
Love, Miss Meika

Fall Festival


The Sea Turtles had an amazing month of October! Fall Festival was an absolute blast, thank you for all of the parents who came to help and support this event. It is one of my favorites! The boys had such a great day filled with the parade, games, family, prizes, lunch, cupcakes, and fun! The boys were so well behaved walking all over staying in line and most importantly, staying safe! I constantly received compliments from parents who always say how well behaved the Sea Turtles are! Some even come down to our class just to watch! Imagine that! I love every second with them. I am the most fortunate teacher to have a class full of so much life and love! 
November will be another wonderful month, focusing on giving thanks and gratitude along with classic Thanksgiving related themes, but we sure have a lot to be thankful for!  
See you Monday!
Love, Miss Meika
