School Update

We finished yet another week of school. This week's theme was turkeys. The class is gearing up for their give thanks party in a couple of weeks and they also will have the theme of 'I am thankful' until the end of November. In keeping with that Carter and I have chosen to purchase a package of cookies and a jug of juice to donate to families that are less fortunate. It is a great way to help out others and the kids seem to enjoy picking special treats and food to donate.

Below are Carter's crafts of the week. Craft time seems to be his favorite thing to do during class right now...snack time follows at a close second.

What's inside this little pumpkin?
The seeds, of course.
Carter cut out this acorn all by himself. (yes, the kids are starting practice with scissors, thus prompting us to purchase a pair for home) On the bottom are the words to the song I'm a Nut. It is one of Carter's favorites to sing right now.
Carter continues to enjoy his time at school and Mrs. McAtee and Miss Marie continue to compliment Carter's progress and how much he has matured in the last year. Brian and I had the pleasure of meeting Miss Kelly, the therapist who visits Carter twice a month at school, last week. She seems to adore Carter and it was quite obvious from the way he greeted her that he loves her. She also seems pleased with Carter's progress and let us know what a pleasure it is to meet with him. We are so very proud of how Carter is growing and maturing.
