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!!

Spring Party

We had a fun Spring Party on Friday. The children were so excited!

We made bird feeders...

did an egg relay...

and did the cake walk for a treat.

Yum!

A big thank you goes to our room moms for all the time and effort they put into making this so much fun for the class.  Have a great Spring Break and we'll see you next week!

St. Patrick's Day

I had no idea how much the kids would get into St. Patrick's Day this year. We had two different leprechaun traps brought to school. The class was very disappointed that we were not able to catch one. Luckily, the leprechaun that got away did leave a note and some yummy shamrock cookies.

Here we are with the potato people we made the day before. Fun!

Valentine's Day

We had a fun Valentine's Day 

(and I actually remembered to take pictures)!

 

Here we are passing out Valentines.

You can see lots of balloons from the Valegrams.

  

  Everyone brought cute and original Valentine boxes.

  

Here we are opening and reading our Valentines.

  

 

After opening and reading our Valentine's Day cards, we had a yummy treat! 

Thank you everyone for your help in having such a special day.

Christmas

We did a lot of really fun Christmas activities, but I forgot to take pictures!!

We read a lot of holiday stories and made some fun art projects. The kids loved painting and making gifts for their parents. We had a gingerbread day where we read stories, decorated sticker gingerbread houses, and ate gingerbread cookies. December was full of excitement.

On the last day before the break we had a really fun party. We made crafts, listened to a story, decorated trees and ate them, and played a game where we unwrapped presents. It was so much fun! Thanks a ton to the moms that came and helped!

Then we went to the gym where we listened to the other grades and performed our songs at the Christmas Sing- Winter Wonderland and The Very Best Part of Christmas Time. The children did a wonderful job.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and a well-deserved break from school.

Thanksgiving

On the day before Thanksgiving break, we had our own Thanksgiving Feast. A big thanks goes to the moms that came in to help and to all those who sent in food for our feast. We had more than enough and the children loved it! Everyone made their own headband and placemat. After eating, we played a game where we hid the turkey and someone had to look for it. So much fun!

Halloween

We had a fun time on Halloween in Room 32. We paraded the school in our beautiful, scary, and cute costumes. Then we came back to the room for some Halloween fun provided by our wonderful room moms. It was a memorable day.

All I Want for Christmas . . .

I had a parent ask what I could use for Christmas. (Thank you for asking!) I am happy with anything, but this year there are several things we really could use in the classroom.

• copy paper or light cardstock, white or colored
• stickers
• glue sticks
• hand sanitizer
• small paper sacks (brown lunch bags)

Thank you! I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas!
