SHOW & SHARE

Two of our friends spun the prize spinner for getting 3 jewels on their behavior clips and spun "SHOW & SHARE." Each of them brought their show and share item to tell us all about it! :) 

Destiny brought a Lollaloopsy doll :) 

Genavieve brought her favorite stuffed animal :) 

Children's Book Week

Children's Book Week was so much fun this year (last year it was kind of delayed, due to the week we were out because of snow...so not many people dressed up)!  We had something fun each day. Tuesday was "The Good Stuff is in the Middle" and we all ate Oreos...YUM!!!!!!!!!!  Wednesday was "Cuddle Up With A Good Book and Read" so we all wore PAJAMAS... Thursday was "Sweat it Out With A Good Book" so we all wore sweatshirts, and Friday was "Dress Up As Your Favorite Character!" I can't wait to share our fun pictures of our class! We get into the themed stuff, because when you are First Grade, it's hard NOT to have FUNNNN! :)

Everyone in their P.J.s :) 

They always have to do a "crazy" picture...because they're SOOO crazy :) 

Yeah, EVEN the teachers dress up! (Mrs. Darley as 3 little pigs, Mrs. Garrison as Cindy Lou Who, Miss Lewis as Pinkalicious, Mrs. Kellett as Goldilicious, Miss Smith as Purplicious, and Me as Arthur or course!)

All of us dressed as book characters showing our books too!

Elijah put on his "character" after we took our group shot so we had to get another one of him!

The girls are excited about this. Ha!  :) Here is a picture of our new friends!
