To start the New Year out, our teacher is challenging us to do our Personal Best Work. We are learning to slow down and take pride in our work products.
To help us show off our Personal Best Work, our teacher created a special space in our classroom. She made a "Happy Kid" sign with our name on it. We each colored our Happy Kid, using our hair and skin color. We colored our Happy Kid's shirt with our favorite color.
Next we each were given a special tack to use to pin our Personal Best Work over our Happy Kid. We are excited to show pride in our work. Just watch us shine!
We are active learners. Here we are using our bodies to make letters. Letters are made from straight lines, slanted lines, and curvy lines. Some letters are just straight. Some letters are just curvy. Some letters are straight and curvy. We like learning about letters and their shapes and sounds. We are learning to read and write.

There are some very nice people in our world. Many of our parents are away from our families serving our country. We miss them when they are away from our home. Some high school students gathered over 500 stuffed animals and delivered them to our school. The animals give us something to hug! We made a sign for them, and we signed our name to the sign. We thank them for their kindness!
My teacher says she can't do her job alone! She has a group of friends in the office to help her! They help her with lots of things. When they help her, they are helping us! And that is good. Very good!
