Birthdays! & more bears...

Hello Casa Primary Community!!

What a great September we've had so far.. it's flying by and we've been having a blast. Not only has it been a great September, but this past week has been crazy busy! Enough talk.. take a look:

We had three birthdays in the past week... three!! Our friend RJ turned 3, on the top row you can have a sneak peek at his birthday poster board, his book gift to the class ("Oh Say, Oh Say, What's the Weather Today?" - we loved it!) and the class enjoying popsicles he brought to share! 

Micaela turned 6! In the middle is a picture of Micaela presenting her book gift of "Everyday Graces" to the class - another favorite :)

Lastly, Sophia turned 3! At the bottom you can see her carrying the globe of the world around the sun celebrating her 3 years on this earth, sharing the pictures on her poster board with us, and tracing her number 3. (We can't wait for her book gift which is on the way.)

Happy Birthday RJ, Micaela and Sophia!!! Thank you for celebrating with us!

Remember we mentioned Mr. Gavin from the Orange Jeep Tours would be joining us to talk animals with the kids? Well, he made his first visit - and it was a huge hit:

We can't wait for his next visit! He plans on bringing some crawling creatures for us to learn about and play with.

In light of his visit, we have started learning a new poem. Ask the kids about "Old George Bear" :)

In the above collage, take a look at us having fun on our playground, not just playing, but reading and learning about our garden!

Now, to close, we are sad to have to say good bye to one of our friends, Thomas. Thomas and his family are moving to Miami. We wish them the best and will deeply miss them! Thomas has been such a great helper so far this year... you can see him below helping his friends learn their continents with our continent song, matching weather cards in front of the class, proudly displaying his violin puzzle with Gabriel, and coloring Adam & Eve with Miss Melissa. 

Such a fun and busy week we had! With 2 days left in this short week, we hope everybody has a great long weekend and we'll have more to report back and share next week :)

Hasta luego!
