Daily Work: I have crates for each child that hold all of their books, but they do not use every book every day. I write on a board what I want them to do and I often grab the books and make stacks on my table. Lilah is super excited to have a Doc ABC book this year!

Turtles: When I dropped them off at science class, each kiddo wanted to be a turtle.
Triangle Art:
Gator Math ~ Greater than/Less than:
Field Trip Journal:
Writing Joural ~ Then and Now: It's amazing what a difference a year can make! These writings were done one year apart and I'm pretty pleased!

Gavin below wrote the entire thing and much better letter size.
