Festivities!








This past week was a great one for the Sea Turtles! We worked on mother's day gifts, yes, quite early, but want to get a head start before I take my maternity leave! The moms of the class hosted a beautiful and FUN library shower for me, which was such a treat. I am still basking in the shower glow. Thank you so much for all of your kindness and generosity, my cup runneth over! On Friday we spent the morning at Casa Dorinda where the children of the whole school sang some beautiful songs for the residents in the medical building. I was so proud of the boys as they each introduced themselves to at least 2 elderly people! They told them their name and asked a question! Great life lessons being learned. This next week will be all about St. Patrick's Day!
See you Monday!
Love, Miss Meika

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!



The Sea Turtles had a great weekend celebrating Dr. Seuss with lots of activities including making green eggs and ham! This year they ALL loved the green eggs and happily ate seconds. The boys felt really good about themselves as they each got to crack an egg! A couple shells fell in, but they dug them out. The children have been very interested in sounding out words and reading chapter books. They have been doing a great job recalling information about the story, building their reading comprehension skills!
This upcoming week we will be working on various projects and look forward to our trip to Casa Dorinda!
See you Monday!
Love, Miss Meika
