Welcome BACK!!

We have had such a wonderful first week back to school! I have enjoyed getting to know my new little "firsties"! I hope that your child has had just as much fun this past week as I have :) I am still waiting on a few blog permission forms, so I can only share a few photos right now...
We have been learning a lot about friendship this week and different ways that we could be a good friend. This is one of my most favorite lessons :) We read the book The Crayon Box That Talked together as a class. This book is about a rowdy bunch of crayons that just cannot seem to get along. Then, we had to work together as a team and use the crayons to create a beautiful masterpiece! Here are a few of our drawings.

And...Last but not least- "Skeletoes"

(I mean really...how cool are these shoes?!?!)

I hope your children had as much fun as me this week! I am one lucky teacher!!!! Keep checking back on the blog for updates!! Happy 2nd Week of School!!

Art Encounter Day!

I am sure by now that all of you have heard about our super fun day of art! Our wonderful art teacher, Mrs. Nall planned a day full of fun for our school! It was a HUGE hit with everyone!! We visited all different types of artist and learned all about their special talents. Here are a few pictures from our day of art fun!

First stop...cookie decorating!

Breanna's icing matches her outfit!!

Oops!! My hands are PINK!!

Caleb LOVES sprinkles...take a close up look below :)

Next up...a dance-a-thon!

Mrs. Melanie came to teach us some of the coolest moves around!

First, we danced with our face, then made shapes with our bodies, next we melted to the ground, and finally we cha-cha'd our way to happiness!

Making shapes with our bodies...

 Having fun!!

 Melting... 

 Breanna had the BEST cha-cha

Two best buddies found each other! I caught them showing off their moves! 

 And...on our way to the next stop, I caught Eli showing off his own original dance moves!

I give you...the Bernie! :)

 So then, the dance party continued and Devon showed us all the "Dougie"

Next up...a jam session with the coolest keyboard player, drummer, and guitar player around!

Our friend Colin thought it was super loud in there :)

Cannon says..."This is the COOLEST!!"

And...this is how I found Devon...rockin' out! :)

Next up...caricatures!

Alexia was up first!

 Next up...Zari

 And finally...Sam

Then it was our turn to try making our own!

Next up...Lunch

Our outdoor picnic got rained out, so where should we eat now??

Well, we decided to have a picnic on the cafeteria floor instead! How cool is that??

And to top it off, we celebrated Caleb's birthday! So much fun!



What is left you ask?? Balloon Art!!!

She made our class this cute bear to take with us!

And our last stop on the art tour was story telling!

This guy did a fantastic job telling stories..he used great voices!

Thank you Mrs. Nall for planning such a WONDERFUL day of art fun for us! We loved every, single second of it!! You are the BEST!!
