Sharing

Last week, Dallas brought home another traveling book.  This one was about the things the students like to share.  Here is Dallas' page...

In case you can't tell, the pets Dallas is sharing are the chickens.  I asked which one was Dallas, and he said the one in the red shirt.  I really should have known, because his favorite color is red (4 out of the 5 school days, he chooses a red shirt with blue pants!).  I also asked if he was sharing with Reba, and he said no, it was a buddy at school.  I think he even called me silly, adding that Reba doesn't have brown hair.

Smart alec kid.

Until next time...

Little Van Gogh

A couple weeks ago, I spoke with Dallas' teacher as part of his mid-term progress report.  She had lots of wonderful things to say about Dallas and how pleased she is with his progress.  She also mentioned how impressed she is with his drawing abilities.  I thought I would share some proof of what she was talking about.

Dallas' kindergarten class has done a handful of "traveling books" so far this year.  These books have had different themes and each students contributes a page.  Then, they all take a turn bringing the book home to share and practice their reading skills.

One book Dallas brought home to share last week was inspired by Vincent Van Gogh's self-portrait.  The students each used a mirror to look at their reflections as they drew their own self-portraits.  Here is Dallas' masterpiece

The other book he brought home was about things the students like to do.  This was Dallas' page (sorry the page behind his is showing through)

Until next time...
