Kindergarten Autograph Book

Buddy Roller has been pining and whining about getting a yearbook from his school. He's in kindergarten! And I'm pretty sure he only wants one because some of his classmates have one.

Can You Believe It?

100th day of school...time flies!

My Indian Made Me Proud

For weeks, Buddy Roller has been practicing for Turkey Tunes...an annual tradition at his school for almost three decades. The kindergarten students dress up as either Indians or Pilgrims and entertain their teachers and parents, singing about Thanksgiving traditions and presenting pictures they drew showing what they are thankful for. 

It was flat out adorable!

My little Indian made me so proud!

He sang.

He performed.

And when it was time for him to get up on stage in front of the microphone and speak, he shared what he was thankful for...his healthy body. He spoke clearly and loudly, and my heart swelled with pride. 

I am so thankful for him and my family. I'm thankful that my mom is in town for the next two weeks, and I'm even more thankful for the rest my body will get this week. 

And you know what else I'm thankful for?  I'm so glad I can turn my alarm clock off for the next eight days. 

So thankful!

Seriously Mrs. Woodard?

I've attended and led many curriculum nights as a teacher in my own classroom, but tonight I attended my first one as a parent.

I didn't go so much to learn about the curriculum or school procedures.

Most of that I know from being a teacher.

That information can also be easily obtained from a brochure or the school's website.

I went to Buddy Roller's curriculum night with one goal in mind.

Meet Your Teacher

What an exciting day!

We attended Buddy Roller's orientation for kindergarten, and we had the chance to meet his teacher today.

Mrs. Woodard is a veteran teacher with over 20 years of experience.

With the short time we spent with her today, filling out paperwork, and asking questions, I could tell she has a wonderful personality.

You cannot imagine how happy I was to meet her.

Watching her interact with parents and their children, and seeing the genuine passion she has for young students, I can already tell this is going to be an awesome school year.

Knowing Buddy Roller will be in capable hands every day puts me at ease while I will be at my school attending to my own teaching duties and responsibilities.

So...what are you up to this weekend?

Do you have any special plans?

Tomorrow we are attending a special ceremony for a dear friend of mine.

She has been married to her husband for twenty years, and they are renewing their marriage vows.

Now that is a milestone!

Whatever your plans are, I hope you have a lovely weekend.
