Brayden's 6th birthday party



Yup...those are hands in Brayd's spooky Halloween black punch. It is orange and grape koolaid with water and ginger ale and.... an icy hand.  Then I used ice cubes that were for water bottles and stuck a gummy worm in them..Kids got a kick out of that.

Kids got to decorate their own pumpkins..I mean cupcakes.  I had the kids sanitize their hands...ya know with all those nasty germs out there.

Ping Pong Pumpkin:..this game did not go so well. You bounce the balls into the pumpkins and cups. I could not manage this well because...I lost my voice and had a hard time explaining this.



Blind Marshmallow....kids were blindfolded and had 30 seconds to put them into the other bowl with a spatula.



Before cupcakes, the kids decorated a foamy pumpkin with foam stickers that I had from last year and never used in my classroom.

Presents....
Then after that. I had the kids run around outside playing vampire and werewolf tag. They enjoyed  it and atleast I hope that they did. It was exhausting...I had 9 boys at the beginning and 11 boys at the end. Most of the kids were from Brayd's kindergarten class, one from his primary class, and the rest..the neighborhood boys. Now..it is over and we are exhausted and I still have no voice.

Busy week

Sorry no pictures. I have been so busy this week to a point where I am sure to have a nervous breakdown. First, I have a student teacher in my room over the next 10 weeks. I thought it would be a welcome relief to give her things to teach but I am more exhausted and it is tiring work. Then grades had to be put in and it was down over the Christmas break so I had a huge pile to get in. Parent teacher conferences were on Thursday. I didn't meet with alot. I met with most of my students'  parents. The one that I wanted to talk to of course didn't show. My own children are doing great in class. Brayden is started to read more and more each day. He is reading near the end of his grade level. Lyndee knows all of her alphabet and sounds. They finally let her check out a library book. Yippee! Sometimes I wish that they would treat Kindergarten with more rigor toward the middle of the year to get them ready for first. Just my opinion. My house is feeling very neglected and wil...

Day 5 -- Vacation

On Wednesday, our last day in the land of the heat. We went to the Mesa Southwest Museum. I guess it is call the Museum of Natural History. In all my years living in the valley and in Eagar, we never went to this museum. It rocked! I wished that I could take my students there. This room was all black with flourescent lighting. The kids could write on those white board with light wands. Whatever the kids wrote would be gone in about 20-30 seconds. It was pretty cool. I loved the interactive the stuff. I have been wanting to do this for years with my classroom. I have wanted them to create their plays. Then act them out in front of a green screen and then use a computer program to put their scenery in. I think I am going to find a grant and write one! Sister Lou loved being on T.V. We would couldn't drag this little starlet off it. Isn't this cute? They got behind the TV and now they are projected into an old western. They had a part of the old territorial prison in th...
