Leaving on a Jet plane

I just wanted to let you know that I will not be at school tomorrow as I going on a trip.  I can't wait to see the kids on Feb. 28th.  Till then,  enjoy the snow and curl up and enjoy their kids! 

Mmmmmm Cookies.

We have iced the cookies and in the words of the kids they are not good.  They are fantastic, scrumptious, delicious, lovely and divine (all words they came up with!).  The sugar should wear off before they get home!

Friday Morning Funny!

This morning when we were making the icing for our cookies, I asked the kids how their Moms and Dads made icing.  As we went around the room  I was asking each how they made icing until I got to one boy who said,"  I don't know she makes it out of a measuring cup?  Is that homemade?"  They are so cute!

Our Busy Thursday

As a treat the Kindergarten class made cookies today.  Wegot to watch while I made the sugar cookie dough (did you know you can make it without eggs?) and they told me about all the fabulous things they make with mom and dad. 
They had a great time rolling out the dough and making the cookies in "valentime" shapes and not cannot wait until they get to ice them tomorrow. 
This afternoon we had a guest speaker.  Steve Harmer came to do a magic show to reinforce the topic of friendship.  They all had a Fabulous time and were sad to see him go.

Can't wait to see the kids tomorrow. 

What we make with our mess

Remember the mess that the kids made last week?  Well today we did something with them.    Here are some of them.  They all turned out so well.  It is really neat to see what is created from the simple finger painting that they made last week.  Happy Valentines week.  Can't wait for the party on Friday!

What Happens When We Paint

There are no words to describe the fun they have and the mess they make.  Have a great Friday!

When Ale comes to visit

On Day 6 we are lucky to have one of our Grade 12 students come in and help.  The kids always enjoy when Ale comes to visit as they have a chorus of "Ale's here" when she comes in the door.  She always reads to the kids and they listen intently to the story.  Today she helped us with our Groundhog craft and our alphabet and letters work.  Be sure to ask your child what they named their groundhog.  We talked about the famous groundhog names so there is Hillmond Harry, Greenstreet Gertie,  Sandy Beach Sally, etc. 
We really appreciate having Ale come to our room!
