HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

There is only one way we can go from here and that's UP!!!  2020 was...well you know...you lived it!  I couldn't be happier to move on from last year!  My husband and I went for a drive and I saw these signs that said Be Optimistic and that's exactly what I will be!  It's too easy to slip into negativity and stay there so let's all be more optimistic this year!  : )

We'll start this brand new year by reviewing our schedule and classroom rules.  We've been home so long that we may have forgotten how we need to distance ourselves from others, walk in the classroom, use inside voices and those three special rules...nice hands, nice feet and nice mouth.  We've got this, I know, and it won't take long to get back into the swing of things.

After the refresher course we'll concentrate on God's two greatest commandments...We love God with  our whole heart and We love others.  We'll learn all about the weather and the four seasons in science, learn the letter U,u in Handwriting Without Tears, focus on beginning sounds and in math we'll learn more/fewer, ordinal positions and sets of ten.  In our Second Step curriculum we'll review emotion management with "We Feel Feelings In Our Bodies.

Whew!!!  I'm going to be optimistic and say WE'VE GOT THIS!!!

The only change in our calendar this month is us being closed on Monday, Jan. 18th to honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

I pray this new year brings you all many blessings and good health.
