Happy Wednesday!

I have been so happy to hear from some of you!  Let's take a look to see what some of our friends are up to...

Hayley used these three kitties to solve the problem of the day.  She figured out that, altogether, they had 6 eyes, 6 ears, and 12 legs.  Great thinking, Hayley!

Peyton has been a busy bee at her house.  Here is she is working on some handwriting.  A special note for parents: The sheet Peyton is using here provides the language for you to use as your kindergartener is working on letter formation.  During handwriting practice, it is very helpful to use this language to prompt the correct formation.  When your kindergartener is doing writing (about a particular topic) it is helpful to remind them about letter formation but not be too picky about it.  During writing, we are more concerned with their great IDEAS!!

Briar took advantage of spring snow that we got!  Look at the snowman she built!  Briar and her mom have also been collecting pine cones.  They found out which kind of tree each different pine cone came from, used tally marks to keep track of how many of each they had, and drew pictures of each different type!  That's some great learning!

Get your tool box and your eraser board ready before watching today's video.

Here is a link to a meditation from "Yoga 4 Schools."  It might be nice for kids (or parents) who need a little break!!  

As always, please comment below so I will know you've come to visit the blog today.  And don't forget to send me your pictures so we can share what you've been up to.  

 I miss you my Smartie McSmartersons!
