I first want to say how blessed I am to have such sweet kiddos and such supportive parents!!! Max brought in three hand-knitted blankets from one of his moms friends yesterday for the blanke drive. So sweet!

Janya showed us the books that she checked out from the main library. I reminded them that they can do that during the Christmas break, too!

Mrs. Weather met with the class yesterday. She talked to them about being compassionate.

We've been working on skip counting during calendar math. They love doing this!

They worked on wrapping their parent gifts yesterday. I surprisingly didn't have to help one bit with any of it! I LOVED their wrapping jobs!!! And I loved how they were so willingly to help each other an didn't want my help!



They even made their own cards for the presents. I gave them a few phrases to choose from and they did the rest.


After all of our holiday prepping, we enjoyed the beautiful sunny day yesterday afternoon.

Today was such a fun-filled day! I truly was spoiled by all of my goodies from my sweet friends!!!

A girl can never have too many red piggies right?

Sean chose a Statue of Liberty ornament for me since my father-in-law, who read to us last week, is from NYC. I love the thoughtfulness!!!!

They're really getting the hang of skip counting! Kevin did a great job with helping us count!

We got to watch the second graders perform their musical,
Flakes. We have the best music teachers! And we leavers what a snirt is...be sure to ask your sweetie!

We made one more card before our party this afternoon. Aren't they cute?



Today was tacky sweater day for the staff. Sadly, I ha a few too many options and couldn't decide which one to wear so I let the class vote. But they couldn't decide because they said I was dressed so beautifully. Ha!


I think it was the earrings that they liked so much!

We finished our gingerbread unit today by writing complete descriptive sentences. Wow!


Macy brought me a beautiful poinsettia!

Cason brought my new baby...er...uh....puppy a gift card to go shopping. I'm speechless about this! Holly Bell is going to be the best dressed pup around!

Emma was dressed so appropriately forte play this morning. Her preset even matched!

She was so excited to show me the chocolate! 😜

Max gave me the yummiest smelling candle!

Thank you to all of the moms do letting me sneak a quick peek on Mary Elizabeth's party!!!

The kiddos talked about dressing up for the party. Sean wore a bow tie and Shona wore a fancy dress.

Thank you for helping today be a great day! I'm so lucky to be able to have such fun with my kiddos and obviously my co-workers! Merry Chrismas!

Don't forget that pj day is tomorrow! Woohoo!!!
