What an AMAZING Open House!

I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed our Open House tonight! It was such a pleasure to talk and get to know you all better. I appreciate the time you took to come into your child's other world outside of the home. :)

The children were so excited to have you come in as well. Their faces were glowing with pride as I watched them show you their writings. I am so proud of them!

The scavenger hunt was a great way for them to be able to (teach) you a thing or two about school. I loved the way I heard them explaining items in our class. Here are my favorite lines of the night":

  • "NO MOM! GET UP! You can't sit in the share chair unless you are sharing your writing."
  • " Put the book back in the RIGHT reading level!"
  • Miss Evanko says, "Books are great presents....much better than a Wii...laugh laugh.."Well I already HAVE A Wii"
  • "DON'T put my stuff in my partner's side of the desk!"

Oh the laughs! They really took ownership of their things and our room!

Thank you for all of your support and help throughout this year. I am grateful for being able to teach such wonderful children.

If you could not attend tonight, or want to view it again, I added the PowerPoint Presentation to this blog under "Class Updates." Enjoy!

Till next time, adios!

Ms. Evanko,
It sounds like your kids really enjoy their classroom. I loved the comments they made to their parents and I love reading your blog!
P.S. I think books are the best present too!
