A Birthday, St. Patrick's Day, and a Wedding!


March started out with Dr. Seuss' birthday. We made hats and 'Things' and had fun working together to think up rhyming words.


 






Kindergarten had fun making rainbows & leprechauns in centers & we used these crafts to jazz up our writing for the hallway!







We ended our week before spring break by enjoying the wedding of Mr. Q and Miss U! We had a ceremony, danced at the 'reception,' and had cake. Congratulatons, Mr. and Mrs. Combination Qu!







And last but not least, Gus was our Christian Attitude recipient for the 3rd quarter!

Goodbye, 2011! Hello, 2012!

Well, I forgot to take pictures of A LOT of events!  I got some of the things we did for Christmas and the 100th day of school, but haven't been very efficient in taking pictures-forget about blogging! We are off school today for Presidents' Day, so I am playing catch-up here at home & on the blog.

Here are some pictures from Christmas.  We had our own Christmas program on a Friday afternoon and presented our program for parents & the rest of the school. The boys and girls did a fantastic job. We made some things in centers and Santa came to visit.  No pictures from the Christmas party-Way to go, Mrs. Eggers!




I am pretty proud of our angels-they came out cute!



 I copied the Bible verse on tan paper & crumpled it up & burned the edges for an aged look.
We made a 5 Senses Christmas book during centers.  We painted with a gingerbread mixed with water for the sense of smell.  I added cinnamon to the mix because I had stored it for a couple of years & it had lost its spicy smell. I should have coughed up the $2.00 for a new mix!

I am missing the pages with "Christmas feels like Santa's beard" and "Christmas tastes like candy canes."We glued cotton balls on a picture of Santa and taped a candy cane to the other page.



Our letters to Santa!





Our group before our Christmas program.

Our Advent wreath we made during center time.


Santa came to visit! 














I love Pinterest & saw these snowmen made out of powdered doughnuts; I knew they would be perfect for a surprise from Zero the Hero.  Zero brought us a surprise on every 10th day of school. 



We celebrated the 100th day of school in a big way! Everyone brought in 100 pieces of something for snack to share with the class.  Homework was making a project using 100 things & we had some very creative projects. Zero the Hero brought us 100 balloons & made a quick appearance in our class!























Another idea I got from Pinterest was for  our Happy New Year people for our bulletin board in the hallway.  I used Dollar Tree party hats cut into two pieces and party blowers.   Happy New Year!
