School Days - in class

Cora seems to be doing very well with her school work. She is very detailed in her drawings and with coloring.

I'm able to help out in class once a month, and on the day I helped last week, the students wrote in their journals about what they were going to be for Halloween.

Then, they shared with the class from their journals.

Cora loves it when I'm in her class. I hear lots of "Hi, Mom!" loudly whispered across the room, and she always wants me to help her out, or to see what she's working on.

On Halloween day, before their class party, the children worked on cards.

Here is Cora's detailed card interior. I love the bat flying across the yellow moon, and the witch on her broom.

 The kindergartners have a homework packet each week, and this week had a fun assignment that called for parent participation.

The turkey is nervous about Thanksgiving approaching, so he wants to be disguised.

















Stacey's - er, Cora's - is wearing a Hello Kitty "costume," complete with pipe cleaner whiskers.

Lastly, I'm adding in here a photo my friend Shannon took when we all were volunteering for the Halloween party.

Cora's sitting next to a boy I'll keep nameless here, but one I've heard her talk about a lot this year.

The first mention was probably six weeks ago, when she said she wished she sat next to him.

WELL. There's a first time for everything, including first crushes.
