Nut! I almost always do!
That is not really the topice for today's blog, I just had that in my head.
So, I am down to 7 kids now in my class, and they are for the most part well behaved, for kindergarteners and we are starting to learn how each other work. I think I am beginning to get the hang of some things, but I still worry if I am teaching them what they need to know for first grade and is it sinking in! We are so behind in math, but then sometimes we aren't and I skip lessons 'cause they already know that! So, I can only really say that things are going. We are working on putting letter sounds to letters in a word, and writing a letter when they hear a sound. I have found some things that they like, and found that when I just let them play a little more, things in the lessons often go quicker! Go figure!!
One of my kids who had been a major discipline problem is doing so much better!! Praise the Lord!! He really is a sweet little guy and just gets over excited about thing and wants to hit alot, but he is really doing well now!! I know this is also the Lord granting me patience to get through to him, before I lose my cool!
Pray for me and my kids as we seem to be the sickies in the school. I have been sick at least once a month since September it seems, sometimes twice, and almost always have someone in my class staying inside for recess because they are sick! The germs abound and we have regular group hand sanitizer sessions! But, on the upside, no one got the chicken pox.
Here comes the carnival! Friday is the annual school carnival and I might be doing face painting! How did that happen? I don't know how that will work, but I will let you know
Spring Break is coming up in March and I am heading to Kansas and St. Louis with the Blooms. Hurray!
Hope every one is doing well and enjoyed this little update. See you later!

I have every confidence that you are doing a great job. They will learn more than you think and remember much more than you immagine. Keep going.
as for the colds, everyone in daycare I've ever talked to says that the first year they caught every bug that came along. After that they seemed to adapt to the local germ pool. You have a ways to go but the upshot is, newt year should be better.
All my love
