22 In The Class

I am having a great year. I have 22 in my class. They are all wonderful kids with lots of potential. There are a few with a fun outlook that I enjoy a lot. One of my boys went all last week without cutting anything he wasn't suppose to. That was a first! I entered a grant into Donors Choose and it is half way funded. It is for a piece of furniture that would organize our centers. I would really love to get it for my room. Maybe the other half will get funded before it expires in December. Today, I had a grant funded through the Shawnee Education Foundation today. It was so fun. The principal called me out to the hall. There were balloons and pictures involved! My kids thought it was my birthday! It was funny! So now I will fill out the p.o.'s to get my items ordered. Woohoo!!! Oh! I just remembered I need to order prizes for my kids. I am giving them a prize if they know all 26 uppercase and lowercase letters on Nov. 22nd. I have focused on two letters a week and we will be done that week. I have hopes we will have 22 out of 22 who know all the letters. Gotta go!
