This week at school is the Winter Reading Celebration and on Wednesday the kids could dress up as a book character…

Samantha is Gerald from Piggie & Gerald books. The cutest elephant ever!

The boys went the easy route and found a football book to go with a jersey. Hey – it counts!

Samantha found Piggie in her class! Too cute.

I didn’t get a picture from 5th grade. Too cool for school I guess.

Now I just wish I could get them all to read more than they do!! Have a great weekend!

The kids are back to school today so how about a round up of before school photos from before the break!

Gah, they’re all three so cute. Hope the second half of school is even better than the first!

In November, Spencer made his thankful turkey on me! So sweet. I asked him when we traveled to New York and he just smiled. “I was running out of time so just put that down”. Goodness gracious, he’s a mess! But I do like my tennis rackets and Golden Goose shoes! My gold jewelry also looks a bit like Mr. T but I’ll take it!

Spencer also made this great self portrait and poem. He’s never been to New Orleans and pretty sure eating cinnamon bread and Nutella every day doesn’t make you a foodie…but we’ll just chalk it up to poetic license! ha! But, hey…his shirt and shoes are spot on!

poem

Maxwell did a big research project at school and chose to do it on Ferraris! Alright! I know Daddo approves! I think he did a fantastic job on his poster and did it all himself. Go Maxwell!

Proud of my excellent students!

School holiday fun

December 23, 2021

There was lots of Christmas cheer up at school last week!

The 5th graders went caroling in the village. They were all decked out!

And they had a big party in the auditorium for the whole grade with gift exchanges for the boys and girls. Loved getting to be around them all together!

I then got to go to the 1st grade party where the girls and boys did separate book exchanges. Love this sweet age!

This cute group built this Chrysler building in stem! Great job!

On Friday everyone was happy for the last day of school, especially Samantha who got to wear pjs!

I was happy Spencer finally got to go back to school so I could go up and be the mystery guest in his class! I took blank notecards and $5 Starbucks cards and had the kids make Christmas cards for people around the school and then they all ran off to deliver them. It was a hit! I also read them a Christmas book.

It’s been so nice to be back in the classroom after no one was allowed in last year. I don’t take it for granted!! Thankful for this great school and all the fun holiday activities they planned!

Christmas program

December 20, 2021

We made it to the last week before Christmas! It’s been busy busy already with fun holiday activities – and a little sick thrown in. Boo! First Robert got sick with some kind of fever virus that took him down. Then Maxwell got hit with a respiratory virus and we ended up at the doc to get some steroids. Finally, Spencer started running a low grade fever that he couldn’t shake so we again ended up at the doc and got a dreaded flu diagnosis. Noooo! Thankfully he wasn’t that sick but did have to miss 4 whole days of school. He was out Monday through Thursday of last week but did get to go on Friday for the final day before Christmas break. Everyone is feeling good now and hopefully we are sick-free until 2022!!

Before everyone got sick, the kids had their Christmas program up at school. I was so happy to have it back as the traditional in-person program this year. 5th graders don’t participate so it was just Spencer and Samantha but they both did great! Robert was supposed to be out of town so I had another special date with me to see the program – Mrs. Susan!

Samantha was looking cute as always…

As was Spencer! 3rd grade was supposed to wear an “ugly holiday sweater” but this is the best we could do. Not ugly but clever! I also made him put a collar shirt on under it much to his chagrin. There might have been some bribing involved. No shame in my parent game!

Love my trio!

Each grade K through 3rd came on and sang a few songs. It was very well done and very cute!

Spencer is full of enthusiasm and energy on stage, just like his brother. Please read that sentence with all the sarcasm intended! ha!

He did a nice job and did everything just as he was supposed to!

The kids had to do two performances a day for two days. Robert was supposed to be out of town for both but, since he got sick, his trip got cancelled! He didn’t have the flu and felt better by the second day so he got to go up and catch the next day’s performance! Hooray!

Samantha opted for an outfit change…

and Spence just stuck with what worked!

They both did a great job both days! This is Spencer’s last year for the Christmas program and I’ll be sad when the days of Christmas programs are all over. Enjoying it while is lasts! Merry merry!
