Hello out there! 

After a week-long summer break, we are back at learning and loving literacy! 

Shannon, Rebekah, Jenna

We had some great literacy guests today - Beloved teacher and friend of Astonished!, Judy Humphries and the lovely Lynice Dorgan, Speech Language Pathologist extraordinaire and sister of Kennen! And we had our wonderful shutterbug Brenda Maclauchlan with us as well. Stay tuned for some great pics....   
Rebekah had a lovely and action-packed time in PEI and brought a bit of the beach back with her! With Sound Blending "m" words, Rebekah designed a menu with "m" food and drink galore! mmmmmmmmmm!

Avery reading from her i-pad

Avery was "soft" today! She wore the nicest blue sweater that felt as good as it looked! She also became the teacher, when she taught the lovely Judy Humphries how to play 4 pics/1 word!
Kaitlyn made it to the literacy program just in time today! She did great work, and is excited about the "online window shopping" technology piece tomorrow.

setting up our work space

Kennen masted the "n" Letter-Sound Correspondence. She also showed what she had been up to during her time at the lake! Homework! Or, rather, lakework. :)   
We missed you today, Megan and Tara! Come back and join us tomorrow, ok? 
A very great Wednesday, indeed. 

Thanks for reading!
