Preparing for Lover's Day

With Valentine's Day just a week-and-a-half away, all the kindergartners sent most of Wednesday the 4th preparing their valentines.

Although I have my reasons for both liking and (sort of) dreading the onset of this special day, old memories of childhood Valentine's Days were rampant in my mind as I watched the kids use cut-out hearts to design beautiful little baggies that would one day be filled with candy and little notes of friendship.

Our new student, Dipshika, seems to be doing better and better getting used to her friends. She's spending more and more time with Lupita and Emily, the other two ELL students in the class. My hopes are high that, by this time next week, it'll seem as if she'd been there from the beginning!

Friday's coming up! One of the more amusing days for the class it seems. I can't wait to get back!
