Wednesday Groups

I talked in my previous post about how great my groups are going.  Wednesday groups are my favorite right now.  These groups contain Kindergartners and First Graders.  We are working on social skills and friendships.  These kids have done such a good job in group and we have been working so well together.  My favorite part of the group is when we do a question on the white board.  The kids have really responded to this and their answers have been amazing.  I am including two pictures of the two questions I have asked so far.

Warmhearted Wednesday; Write one example of how to be kind
What's Good Wednesday- Tell me something GOOD!




Back To School...

Welcome Back!  

It's that time of year again when school has started and everything is going at warp speed.  I find myself checking each day to see if it is a full moon.  It seems as though each day gets a little crazier than the day before.  However, in saying that I feel as though this year our district has had a great start to the school year.  We have a new principal at our 4-8 building who is amazing and is very supportive of school social work.  Which is hard to find sometimes.  I have several groups already up and running, and they are going great.  I just wanted to take a moment in all the craziness of the first month to welcome everyone back and I hope you are all having a great start to the year.

I am also going to share some new pictures my family just had taken and my son, Maddix's 2 year pictures.
