Valentine's Day

For Valentine's Day, we got to practice using our manners during our tea party!  We also got to show that we know how to set a table.  It was great fun to be able to dress fancy and be super polite while drinking tea (with our pinkies out) and eating yummy treats.  We also got to decorate boxes and deliver Valentine's to everyone in our class!

We decorated shoe boxes with all kinds of fun stuff.  The highlights were the lip and moustache stickers!

Everyone looked so nice for the tea party!

Everyone set their place so properly!

We got to drink tea out of real china!

Passing our Valentine's was fun...especially when we got to look inside our boxes!

Mardi Gras

Since I am from Louisiana, I like to share some of my cultures and traditions with the class.  Mardi Gras is a fun event that we get to learn about in class!  We ate king cake, got beads and write about them, made masks, and had a great time reading stories!

YUM!  King cake made by Mrs. Jynette!

Conor got the baby so he was our Mardi Gras king!

We made fun masks!

100th day of school


We had a great 100th day of school celebration with lots of learning!

Playing with bubbles!



Trying to put together a 100 chart!

Making a snack with 100 treats!

Making a necklace with 100 beads!

These guys finished the 100's chart!

These guys finished the 100's chart too!

Our class...we are 100 days smarter (and I am 100 years old!!)

I have a Dream

We reciting part of MLK's speech during a recent assembly and the kids did great! The video from the assembly did not turn out so well though so here is a reprise from our classroom!

Wright Brothers

We had a lot of fun learning about the Wright Brothers this week and all the work they put into making the first motor powered airplane.  We tried to be like the Wright Brothers in class and we made our own airplanes...paper airplanes!  We had flying contests, and like the Wright Brothers, if our plane did not fly so well we make some improvements on it so that we got better and better!

Broncos Day

I was so sad when the Broncos lost because I just kept seeing all of these cute little buddies dressed in their favorite Broncos clothes!  We had a fun day cheering on the Broncos (and SAINTS even though I tried my best to explain that they did not make the play-offs!) on Friday!

4th of July

We celebrated the 4th of July in January (everyone found that a bit silly!) since we do not have school in July.  We made flags, had birthday treats, sang The Star Spangled Banner and God Bless America to our country and learned about the time when we were only the 13 colonies and not the USA!
