Art with Johnny

Hey Hey! It's still pretty chilly out today so you may not see our groups outside today for too long. A quick walk around the block may have to do because it is COLD! If your picking your child up during their outside time, don't walk around looking for them, wait in the building by the main entrance. All of our groups come in and out of that entrance and only that entrance.


 This has been a crazy/fun week! 1st grade are in the lead with 2 pizza party stars with the older groups right behind them. Our first graders were totally awesome in Chipman's chess class on Monday and Wednesday, AND had fun learning to juggle yesterday. I'm so proud of that group!
Our 2nd and 3rd graders are doing better with homework, but it took them a while to get it together in Yoga class on Tuesday. After the class got started they came around, but we need to do better than that since it's only a 45min class. Our eldest group has been working together for a group project, I'm thinking a debate team because everyone has a strong opinion in that group and they all love to talk.But a couple of one act plays is also in order. I really hope they win some more stars because they didn't have ANY last month, keep up the good work guys!

Finally our prek/k groups!Prek had a great time in yoga AND Tim's comic book class. I was so impressed with their knowledge of Marvel superheros!The prek are having so much fun and it's hard to not to giggle when you're around them!
Our kindergarten class won the pizza party last month, but I'm not so sure about this go-around.....Even though our kindergarten class is wonderful and creative, they also are a handful. Each child has their own personality and a pleasure to get to know, but sometimes as a group they can't seem to get it together. They are having trouble lining up and listening during class, but I know that today and next week they will work harder because I know they want that pizza party!
 Even when things get tough, our awesome staff at Empire keep it cool. Remember that they work all day at school and come in with bright shiny faces in the afternoon and it can't be easy! I tell them I love them all the time and I hope you do too!!
 Be sure to check in for more info on changes in schedule and this weekend I'll be putting up info on SUMMER CAMP!!!
