What a good looking group of all 22 techies. We couldn't be more thrilled with Miller's teacher this year. An answer to our prayers, that smiley Mrs. K is... We feel like Miller hit the jackpot in the teacher department. Not only is she exceptional instructionally, she's happy and loves the children with her actions. She is the model first grade teacher keeping things fun and at their level realizing that they are six years old.
My favorite incentive that she has going on this month is a lunch date with the teacher. Each table grouping that wins a weekly tally competition of hardest & quietest workers gets to each lunch with Mrs. K in the room on Fridays. She sets out a white table cloth and chats with her quiet friends. Then a special short movie plays while they finish up. Miller's table earned this privilege twice & he came home especially excited about earning a date with his first grade teacher. Looking ahead--it's bring your favorite stuffed buddy to school day once the class earns enough compliments. I can't even handle the adorable--ness of calling it a "stuffed buddy". Miller is counting down the days to introduce Sharky to his class.
Miller requested a special snack to share, so I made peanut free Scarecrow crunch treats. Who knew that peanut free candy corn was hard to find?
The weather was gorgeous & it was great finally putting a face with a name.
Our neighbor friend "L" and Miller had fun sliding all kinds of crazy ways-- their style was probably not school "playground rules" approved. But, it was after hours:) Oh the wild and sometimes daring ways of boys.
I absolutely loved meeting all the first grade techie friends and parents. Now, I feel like I can greet everyone by their names when I volunteer in Miller's room. The weather cooperated and even the little siblings had a blast. Thankful for a successful kick off on Miller's first grade journey.
