Happy Turkey Day!



Our Thanksgiving Feast was a hit. We had plenty to eat, thanks to all of our wonderful parents. Thank you to all who donated food, plates, juice, silverware, etc. The kids were very excited about eating in our room. Yesterday and today we worked on our Native American vests and headbands, deer skins, tortilla teepees, and name place cards. We also created some beautiful turkey place mats. Here a few pictures I snapped during our feast. I know some moms took other pictures so as I get those I will post them for all to see. We had fun. Thanks again to all parents who donated items and their time. I couldn't have done it without you!!!

Pump it up


Here we are being a bit silly!
Here are a couple group pictures of most of the kids from our class that attended the Pump it up party. I know that some could not make it and a couple kids left before we were able to take the pictures. We sure did have fun!

Spirit Packs!












Our class was one of the top classes for the donation campaign. We actually raised enough money for our class to get our very own ELMO, which is a very cool piece of technology equipment. We currently have some that our grade level shares but I can't wait until we get our own to keep. We also got to have a Pump-It Up party. Pump-It Up is a place you can go and they have rooms with large blow up obstacle courses, moon walks and a giant blow up slide. Our whole class was invited last Wednesday night and we shared a room with Mrs. Scogin's class. We had a blast. I did the obstacle course so many times I lost count, but I felt it the next morning. :) Also for raising the money we recieved spirit packs from our Kaufman PTO. I took some pictures of the kids that afternoon that we got them. We had just finished a long day of Stanford testing so they were very excited to get their spirit packs. I hope to post some pictures from Pump-It up soon, I'm going to have to ask the moms who took pictures to send them to me, but for now here are the ones with our spirit packs.
