Last Thursday, Joyria had a birthday! It was a very special day because Joyria loves birthdays! She says "Happy Birthday" to everyone that enters our classroom and everyone that she sees in the hallway. She also sings "Happy Birthday to You" every single day!! Therefore, we had to make this a VERY SPECIAL DAY!! It was Joyria's day!
As a birthday treat, we enjoyed Little Debbie's Fudge Rounds! Yum!! Below, Claire and DeAsia enjoy their birthday treats!
After enjoying our treats, it was time for Joyria to open her gifts!
From her friends in Ms. Malcom's class she got a hair peice set and a really cool pencil case!
Of course we had to take our traditional birthday picture. As you can see we haven't yet conquered the concept of everyone looking at the camera at the same time! We'll keep working on it though. Either way, any picture that we take as a class is precious! :-)
When we were out on the playground, we had a very special visitor. Kelli, Ms. Malcom's sister, drove all the way from Griffin to be a part of Joyria's special day. She brought Joyria a present in a very large box! I wonder what it is!
What?? A crock pot????? Ha! Ha!! Kelli is getting married soon and "borrowed" one of the boxes that one of her presents came in. Ha! Ha! We kept asking Joyria what she was going to cook us in her crock pot!
In the crock pot box was lots of little birthday bags. In each birthday bag was a gift. Joyria got a teddy bear, clothes for her teddy bear, and a coloring book. She was very excited to open all of these presents and loved her teddy bear best of all! 
Below, Joyria poses for a picture with Kelli! Thank you Kelli for making Joyria's day so special!
At lunch, our friend Mr. Michael stood up in one of the chairs and yelled "Hey Everybody! It's Joy's Birthday!". Everyone cheered and the entire cafeteria (full of 5th graders) sang "Happy Birthday" to Joyria. We made her stand up and she just smiled in shock the entire time! It was such a special moment! Ms. Higdon, Ms. Stowe, and I had tears in our eyes!
I think that this will definitely be a birthday that Joyria will always remember. It will definitely be one that I always remember!
