Pumpkin Carving with Miss M

On Thursday, October 30th, I helped Madeline's first grade class with their pumpkin carving! It was a fun (and loud!) event! Made me happy to be back in the classroom in my teaching element!

Digging out the "guts" and counting the seeds!

Ick!!

The kids gave me ideas for eyes, nose and mouth...this was the final decision!

Mrs. Harris asked me to build the pumpkin math flip chart. I enjoyed creating it from her vision!

Mrs. Harris also asked me to read to the class. I enjoyed reading Pumpkin Jack and asking comprehension questions afterward!

Group 2! Madeline, Trinity, Shiloh and Lucas!

Gus the Gardener

Gus' teacher gave him a cabbage plant on Friday. Apparently, every Third grader received one. According to Gus, so take it with a grain of salt, the student with the largest cabbage in the whole state of Texas receives $1,000. Let the cabbage growing begin!

Movie Date

Last Sunday, the Kinder Krew and I went to the movies to see Don't Back Down. It was a very heartwarming story about a mom who challenges the system to change her child's failing school. We laughed and cried and had a great time catching up. We picked up Sonya who is home in maternity leave. Since I still had congestion and a cough, I didn't get to hold Addison. Can't wait to eat my hands on her!

Proud parent!

I know that all parents think that their kids are the greatest, and I am no different! Madeline's "All About Me" poster was due today in her Little Ark class. This weekend, I got the crayons out for her to color it and I was just going to supervise. Instead, Gus offered to help her and they worked together on it. I am very proud of how well he worked with her and helped her. I am equally proud of her answers...they are classic Madeline!

Gus took his spelling test today (2 days early) and got a 100! Check out the note from his teacher! I am blessed with awesome kids. I thank God for them!
