Birthday party

Someone here in our house turns 6 this month. We celebrate it with a birthday party before the holidays as her birthday is on New Year's Eve. I invited only girls that we know in her primary class and kindergarten class. She wanted it Hello Kitty. The first thing the girls did was decorate headbands that have a bow on it. You know kind of like Hello Kitty.
I bought dollar store headbeads: hot glued a bow on. Girls decorated them with rhinestones, foamie stickers. They were gorgeous.
Girls devoured strawberry cupcakes. They put their own sprinkles on.
The girls made beaded necklaces and they created their names using shrinky dink paper.
This is before I baked the paper. They shrink more than half. I think I might do this at school and have the students make ornaments.

This was a girl's masterpiece. Cute! Husband was helping daughter with her necklace.
Opening her presents.


Her loot! She was so happy to get presents from her little friends. They had such a good time. What is horrible is that I can't remember who gave what! Thanks everyone! I hope all these girls stay friends. I am thinking we should do play dates in the summer. Now back to the party....with ten minutes left...I let them run around.

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...
