Dance Festival

We have had an awesome last week of school! I cannot believe how much fun we have fit into a few short days. Awards assembly, pool party, mini marathon, field day, dance festival, and more! These are memories to last a lifetime.

Here is a picture of the class after the dance festival. We were pretty hot and tired, but everyone looked so cute!

I am going to miss this class so much. They have been great and I am sad to see them go. I hope everyone has a great summer and we'll see you in the fall!

Spring Field Trip

We went on a really fun Spring field trip and learned about plants and animals.
Unfortunately, my camera battery died, so I didn't get any pictures. I am finally updating this post with pictures! Thank you to those who sent me some. These are great!

Teacher Appreciation

Thank you to everyone for making Teacher Appreciation a wonderful week! Of course, it's one of my favorite weeks of the year. By this time of the year, I think every teacher needs a boost. Teaching is a hard job, yet so rewarding. It makes it easier knowing that others appreciate all we do.

I had some wonderful room moms come in to decorate my door and cover the class so I could enjoy a wonderful breakfast served by the PTA. It was awesome! Thank you so much!!!

Look at this amazing door decoration!

Throughout the week, the children brought in all sorts of gifts: fruit, flowers, supplies, treats, notes and more. I sure felt loved and appreciated. Thank you, thank you, everyone!!

Walking Field Trip

We had a wonderful walking field trip to the train. We learned a lot and had fun as we rotated through four stations. We learned about the history of trains, rode on the train, played some games, and ate popsicles!

What an awesome, generous family to share so much with the community.

Measuring

We really learned a lot and had fun during our Measurement Unit. The kids loved using rulers and measuring things around the classroom. When we learned about weight, each child got to choose an item in the classroom to measure in grams. We found some pretty heavy things, that fit into the container on this scale .

Crazy Sock Day

Here are some CrAzY socks from the last week in April.
