January Book Orders

January book orders are being sent home today so make sure to check them out.  Scholastic sent me a two new flyers that I had never seen before.  The first one is called "Click" and it's an interactive learning catalog filled with computer games, board games, and fun science and discovery kits.  The other new one is called "Storia" and it's filled with eBooks.  I don't know if any of you have a family ipad, kindle, etc. but I thought it might be helpful for those of you who do.

Once again, let me know if you have any questions.  Thanks for being so supportive!  

Sincerely,

Mrs. Calton

We love reading!

My class can read and we love reading!   know I probably sound nerdy for being so excited about it, but I love watching your kids learn.  They grow so much every day and it's been really fun to teach them this year.  I feel so blessed to be at Liberty Academy teaching kindergarten because I have an awesome class and great parents to work with.  Thank you so much for helping me love my job so much.

When I was younger I never really liked reading because I was always told to read specific books in school and I thought they were boring.  Since being a student at BYU, I have learned to love reading and my goal this year is to help your children LOVE to read.  I feel that if I can instill a love for learning in your children when they're in kindergarten, they will do great in school and will be very successful in life!

Always, Mrs. Calton  

End of 2012

Recently I realized that I have a lot of great ideas, but not enough time to accomplish everything I want to do.  Sadly, this blog has been one of those great ideas that I haven't really kept up with.  I'm trying to be better about it with the new year, but it's been a little crazy trying to keep up at school, at home, and with both of my blogs (my husband and I have a family blog too).

Because I'm trying to catch up on this blog for the new year, I've decided to just put some pictures of my class up from the past couple months.  I hope you have fun looking at the cute pictures of your kids... we've had a blast!

Our Thanksgiving Feast...

Our winter door.  Our class made penguins by tracing their feet.  They turned out really cute.
