exciting times.

the kids’ expressions are so wonderful. what i am sad about is that my camera battery died on thursday morning. trust me, their expressions were fabulous too (especially the one little girl that i thought was nervous and it turns out she reported she was bored. so bored she couldn’t fall asleep that night. oops.). waiting for things to get started is understandably boring…these kids will be pros.

e is for envelope

October 16, 2009October 15, 2009 | || kristin ||

we took advantage of “e is for envelope” to bring a mail center to the classroom.

thanks to my thrifty husband, we have hundreds of envelopes that come in junk mail, etc. shame on me for giving him a hard time for saving them.

family corner purses quickly became mail bags, random corners of the classroom quickly became homes that needed mail, and we had envelopes stuck in the oddest places.
