A New Year....

School starts this month and I'm getting excited! I've had themes and ideas running through my head for months now, or really all last year. I have finally gotten them listed, though, and I've been working on lesson plans too and it gets me so excited to start another year! You will see a few repeats from last year, although we do have half of our class returning. There were just so many things we didn't get to in those topics, that we'll be doing them again, but with completely different activities! I'm also really excited to be spending more time focusing on authors and illustrators, woven into many of our themes. This is going to be a great year!
