Happy 2017!

Welcome back everyone! It was so good to see smiling faces this morning. . .in between a few yawns. It`s never easy to return from a nice break, but we managed to get back into our routines slowly but surely. We had so much to share that we needed to start our day with a class meeting to hear all the adventures we were up to over the holidays.

We found out that one of our friends will be leaving our learning community and moving to another school. Today was her last day. This brought on some sadness as well as good wishes for all that lies ahead for our good friend, Stacey. We love you and we will miss you, Stacey.

Here are our thoughts:
I went to a Christmas party. I will miss Stacey so much. -Adria

I hope all your wonderful memories warm your hearts as we move through the colder winter months. May 2016 bring you much joy and happiness.

Word of the Year

Happy New Year everyone! 2015 has gotten off to a chilly start. We stayed indoors all day today because it was too cold to be outside. It was awesome to see all the familiar faces this morning and to meet our new student, Isla. We are very happy to have her join our learning community. The class had a chance to talk about the holidays and the end of 2014 as well as the start of a new year and all the exciting adventures that lie ahead. I recently saw a neat idea about a "Word of the Year"....a word that we can think about the whole year that has meaning to us. I have never been very good at making (or keeping) resolutions so I shared this idea with the class. We had time to discuss and share some ideas.

Here are our Words of the Year. . .
Love. . . I care about people. -Diamond
Friends. . . are important so we don't get bored. - Ashley
