Fun Fantastic Friday- Snow Globes!

Last week, we began learning about weather and the four seasons. In our vocabulary books, we added words such as "winter", "snow", "snowball", "snowman", etc. Mrs. Higdon was in charge of Fun Fantastic Friday and had the great idea to make snow globes out of round coke bottles! Tony was the "Class STARfish" last week. Therefore, he was the teacher's helper for Fun Fantastic Friday!

Tony took his teacher's helper job very seriously!

Mrs. Higdon had cute little snowmen to put in our snow globes!

She also had little "snowballs" for us to put in our snow globes!

La'Shawn, Mrs. Stowe, and Jameer had a great time working on their snow globes!

We poured oil in the bottles!

After taking time to help pass out supplies, Tony was eager to begin working on his snow globe!

Lucy and Eliana were very busy putting their snowballs in their snow globes!

Then, we added lots of pretty glitter!

Jameer and Tony show off their snow globes!

The last thing we had to do was fill the rest of the bottle with water!

Ms. Malcom made a snow globe too!

Tony loved his snow globe!

I had to add this picture! These boys are such great friends!

Thanks Mrs. Higdon for such a wonderful and fun activity! We LOVE Fun Fantastic Friday!

Snow Days!

On the day we returned from school after our snow days, we had to go take some pictures in the snow. I actually took a total of 7 pictures, trying to find that perfect one! Ha! Ha! I wanted to share some of them with you! I'll tell you, these children just make my day!

Below is the first picture that I took! Pretty good, but of course not everyone was looking at the camera!

This is another one that I took! Ha! Ha! This one speaks for itself!

This is the last one we took! Still, not everyone is looking at the camera! But... I just loved it! This one is the background for our ActivBoard!

I just love these children! :-)

CBI Trip to McDonalds!

On the same day that we went to Dollar Tree to do some holiday shopping, we went to McDonalds for lunch and a little fun time together. Mrs. Thomas sent me pictures from this trip (since I left my camera at Dollar Tree)! I wanted to share them with you!

The kids loved playing in the McDonalds Playground!

We enjoyed lunch and the nice people at McDonalds gave our class free ice cream!

We were so happy to have one of our favorite bus drivers, Mrs. Judy, spend the day with us! It was also great to have Mrs. Sterling and Mrs. Thomas come along!

After lunch, it was back to more playing!

Ms. Malcom thinks she's getting a little old (or big) for this! :-)

As you can see, we had a great time! We can't wait for our next CBI trip!

The First "Class STARfish" of 2011 is......

Joyria!!!!!

Joyria was chosen to be our first "Class STARfish" of 2011! We are very proud of how hard Joyria has worked this school year!

Way to Go Joyria!

Growing Up!

Yesterday, I decided to take some updated pictures of our students to use for our behavior chart, incentive chart, lunch choice chart, etc. They turned out so good that I wanted to share them with you. I cannot believe how much all of these children have grown since I first met them. They all hold a small peice of my heart!

Opening Presents!

After enjoying our banana split party, it was time to open presents! We were all so excited!

Ms. Malcom passed out the presents!

This present is for... DeAsia!

Ms. Katie (Joyria's special friend) was so kind to stop by and spend some time with us!

Mrs. Higdon helping Jameer open up his present! He was so excited!

What do you got La'Shawn?

Joyria and Ms. Katie pose for a picture!

Our students are so blessed to have so many people that love and care about them. THANKS to everyone who made this day special for them!

Also, thank you so much to all of the parents and friends that sent in gifts and wishes of a wonderful holiday season to Mrs. Higdon, Mrs. Stowe, and I! We didn't get time, on the last day, to thank all of you personally! However, we appreciate you so much for thinking of us! We love you all!
