1st day back and...

my kids were sooooo good today.  It made for a very easy day.  It is a very short week for us - 2 days, but I managed to get a lot done today.
    We started off talking about the "hot topic" : what everyone got for Christmas.  We sat down on the carpet and just chit chatted for a while.  I had them talk to their partner and then when we were done I asked them what their partner said.  It worked very well cause we had a few that didn't listen - then we were able to review listening and speaking rules.

  Next was resolution time.  We read this book:

The kids loved it.  It was very cute.  We listed different resolutions we had and wrote ours down.

We also make cute little NY's kids - pic tomorrow.

We talked about how black eyed peas are good luck and we decorated 2012 with a bunch so that we could have good luck too.  Some years I make black eyed peas for them to taste, but I decided not to this year.  (they are not my fav -YUCK!)

I'll post pics tomorrow - we were so busy I didn't take any.  Oh, did I mention I also got a new student!

Happy New Year All!

Happy New Year!!

I can't believe that it is 2012 already.  Time has gone by so fast and I have done very little blogging.  I am hoping that in the next few days I will get some things posted. (my husband goes back to work and baby girl can go to daycare)  I go back to school Wednesday - so I am going to try to get things done.  I have to change our centers and make new name tags...all the exciting things that come with going back to school. 

keep checking back for fun stuff!
