Happy Thursday! Oh my goodness the kids were CRAZY today. I partly blame myself because at this time of year we have bonded and it is not really their fault that they get excited. However, we need to make sure that we are still respectful and calm throughout the last day. I keep telling them that we can and will have fun learning, but we have to be able to bring it back into focus when we have to. Please chat with your kiddos about this tonight. If you do, write CHAT in the planner for $10 tomorrow.
Tomorrow is Baby Egg Day. Please have kids CALMLY bring their cribs to school. We will have a great time learning what it is like to have to be responsible for a kid all day long. Empathy time for mom and dad for sure! Kids also know that if the egg consumes their world and they are not able to do their regular work, then their egg will just sit the rest of the day on my desk so they can focus. It is a fun day, but still a learning day.
I spent last night scanning in baby pictures and making a fun Kahoot for the kids to play. If kids want to bring their own iPhones, iPods, iPads, or whatever to play on they can. Kids will see the picture and then have to guess who it is out of four players. They chime in on their devises and it keeps score for them. Fun!
Tomorrow is Stripes for Cents Day. Please remind kids to wear something with stripes and bring a dollar or more for a zoo donation. What a great cause!
All kids have the book spelling test tomorrow. We played a review game today. Some kids really need to do some studying tonight. Those er, or, ar endings are tricky.
Homework tonight is an RLJ entry. They need to write at least a half of a page.
You guys are totally spoiling me rotten! A HUGE thank you to Tyler's family for my new BELIEVE Bling! The card totally touched my heart. I love that you all get me! Thank you. Another thank you to Coewyn's family for bringing me lunch from one of my favorite places, Jimmy Johns! And a cookie to top it off! My favorite part…little Braizen (sorry for spelling). If you have never met this kiddo, you are missing out in life. What a little spitfire that is adorable on top of it. A big, big thank you to him for my beautiful red flowers! What a doll! PTA spoiled us by giving us some Super Hero Snacks. I am glad I have some x-ray vision drops, Hero Vitamin Pellets, a secret identity bar, and some energy bursts! How would I get through the day without them. WE have the BEST PTA ever!!!! Lastly, Miss. Casasha made me into Super Woman! I loved the poster listing all my powers and traits! Awesome!
Cya tomorrow mommies and daddies! :0)
