Good Work

The kids have been working so hard at school and are learning so much.  Here are a few papers they brought home this weeks.



Cooper is learning his ABCs.  Last week, their theme was Apples

 This week, the theme was Bears

 Reagan made 100 on her very 1st spelling test of 1st grade

 She also made 100 on the 2nd test of the year (and the 1st test in Ms R's class) 

 Reagan loves to draw...

 ...and color

 Cooper's class is also learning their numbers!

Play Time

It was another beautiful evening, so we didn't waste a minute of valuable play time!  

Trucks on the road!

 Rollin' along

 I don't know how she convinced him this was a fair race!

 tongue out = concentration

 JOY on her face

 Cooper was the "leaf man" and tried to pick up all the leaves in the yard

 after all that hard work, he needs a break!

 but, he's back at it in no time!

 A friend from down the street came to play

 he loves to be the center of attention

 playing with friends

 making fish eyes

 coloring their flowers

Happy Birthday to Me!!

Today is my 38th birthday. I told the kids all I wanted was for them to get their picture made with me. We took several pictures and these are the best I could get!

not too good!

Here is the front of Reagan's card

And the inside 

 the front of the card Cooper made me was too light to scan, but here are the stickers he put inside

Here's another of the 20 or so pictures we took!

The Great Outdoors

After dinner and homework were taken care of, we spent the rest of the evening outside ~ riding scooters, driving trucks, collecting leaves and drawing with chalk. 



a little unfair, but they raced each other for about 30 minutes
