Candy Corn!!

Yesterday we celebrated National Candy Corn Day!! Ha! Nom nom nom!

Book Parade Success!!

Our annual Book Parade was an absolute success!! Curious George and my little monkeys were a huge hit!  It was a lot of fun seeing all the story book characters and the creativeness from all the students and staff. Can't wait for next year!

The Amazing Mrs. Bittle!

Mrs. Bittle reading to the class.

In the above picture is our amazing volunteer Mrs. Bittle. I highly recommend getting yourself a Mrs. Bittle!! She comes to the classroom to read to the children, have conversations, and share her wisdom. When she walks in the room all the kids jump up to give her a big hug. It's always the highlight of our day. She genuinely cares for us as we do for her. I just want to recognize her for all she does for my class. I can truly say she makes me so happy every time I see her! So here is to you Mrs. Bittle. Thankful to have you as a part of our class family. Hugs!! 

Roar!! These PAWS stay off drugs!

I knew the cuteness would be through the roof today!  Check out these kiddos and their furry friends.  What a fun week it has been so far.  We are working hard showing others how important it is to stay off drugs and keep our bodies healthy.

Walking Away from Drugs!

My students "Walking Away from Drugs"!

Today is Red Day and “Walk Away From Drugs” Day!  The kiddos and teachers are wearing crazy socks and shoes as well as LOTS of red!  We went outside this morning and took a nice stroll around the walking trail and spoke about making healthy choices.  We are on the right track for sure :)  Tomorrow is “These PAWS Stay Off Drugs” Day.  The children and staff may wear animal print and/or bring a stuffed animal for reading time.  Can't wait to see all the cuteness tomorrow!  

All of our crazy socks and shoes!

We LOVE to say NO to drugs!

Red Ribbon Week: We MUSTACHE you NOT to do drugs!

Red Ribbon Week is Oct. 26 – Oct. 30!

        The purpose of “Red Ribbon Week” is to motivate and encourage children to stay off drugs and keep their bodies healthy!  Today the students did a great job wearing their mustaches and showing everyone that we say NO to drugs!  

Tomorrow the children and staff may wear red and wear crazy socks/shoes. Our students may walk around our walking trail to demonstrate the healthy choice of fitness and “walking away from drugs”.

The kids and I showing off our AWESOME mustaches! 

Kids and the Bill of Rights!

Oh, this is just fantastic!! Look at these amazing papers the kids did last week. I partnered them up and they had to choose an amendment to write about. Proud teacher right here!

"You can say and write what you think in your head."

"The assembly is important because it brings us together."

"Freedom of speech is important because we all need to speak up for ourselves."
