Back to School...

Back to school...I planned on hugging each and everyone of my kiddos this morning but they seemed to find me first throughout the day.  They just needed that extra squeeze!

Our teachers were given a script to read which I did stick to...I really did...The tears did well up as kids began talking about what they knew or heard.  I reassured them our school is a safe place.  Our job is to teach and keep them safe.

After our morning meeting, I kept the day as routine and normal as possible.

For Writer's Workshop I read, Olive, the Other Reindeer.  Each of them filled out a Reindeer Application and then made themselves as a reindeer.  So darn cute!!  You'd hire them, right?

On Friday, we made Geo-me-trees!
