CBI Trip to the Fire Station and McDonalds (Part 2)!

This wasn't supposed to actually be a trip to McDonald's. We were actually supposed to have a picnic at Turner Lake. However, it also wasn't supposed to be approximately 30 degrees this day. McDonald's was nice enough to let us bring our sack lunches in and take over their indoor playground area. So.. that's exactly what we did! :-)

After lunch, we had ice cream! Yum!

Overall, it was a fun-filled day!

CBI Trip to the Fire Station and McDonalds!

A few weeks ago, we had a wonderful trip to the Fire Station and McDonalds. We learned so much and are so thankful for those fire men who took time, from their busy schedules, to talk to us and show us around the fire station.

The fire men talked to us about the fire trucks and even let us sit in one!

Then, they showed us the part of the fire station where the live when they are on call. Eliana wasted no time making herself at home! Ha! Ha!

As a matter of fact, none of us did! :-)

We got to see where they eat, relax, and sleep!

Then, they were nice enough to let us hear the fire truck sirens!

We had to take a group picture!

Draylan loved having his questions answered by the fire men!

Thanks so much to the Covington Fire Station (on Alcovy Road) for having us! We appreciate all that you do for the people in our community!

Our New Friend, Tia!

We have a new friend in our classroom. This is Tia!

Tia comes to us from Walton County. She is a great friend and, with her bubbly personality, beautiful smile, and determination, she fits in perfectly!

We are so happy to have Tia in our class!

Welcome Tia and Family!

Our Annual Thanksgiving Lunch!

Mrs. Stowe and I were so excited to be hosting our 6th Annual Thanksgiving Lunch together. So.. when the kiddos went to Adaptive PE, we started decorating.

Eliana made all of the name tags (Thank you Eliana!). They were perfect (Weren't they Mrs. Wancy?). LOL!

We had lots of visitors for our Thanksgiving lunch. Ms. Jerri (Mrs. Stowe's sister), Mr. John (Mrs. Stowe's husband), Mrs. Nancy (Tony's mother), Mrs. Kelli (Ms. Malcom's sister), and Baby Blair (Ms. Malcom's niece) all ate lunch with us.
Tony's mom surprised him with her visit. He was quite surprised and sooo happy to see her!

Before we had lunch, Mr. John read us a story about Thanksgiving and we performed our Turkey song for our guests!

Ms. Malcom was so happy to spend this time with Baby Blair!

Then, it was time to eat!

We had such a wonderful time! Thanks to all who came to share this day with us!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I'm Thankful For...

Before Thanksgiving, we all sat down to discuss what we were thankful for. I was so surprised by the things that I heard. We really have some precious kids. So.. we decided to put our thoughts on paper. Our kids needed very little help deciding what they were most thankful for. Their letters are below.

I am thankful for so much this year. I am thankful for my relationship with God, my health, a job that I love, my god-sister (Nashika) who led me to this profession, my family/ friends, my beautiful niece (Blair), my nephew (Judd) on the way, my dog-children, my home, my wonderful paraprofessional (Mrs. Stowe), and the precious students/ families that I have met in my six years of teaching. I am blessed with so much. Happy Thanksgiving to all of you and be sure to count your blessings!

Diet Coke Brownies!

My name is Kimberly Malcom and I am a Pinterest addict! For those of you who don't already know, Pinterest is a website that has all kinds of fun, easy recipes and DIY projects. It has become an obsession of mine.

When I saw the recipe for Diet Coke Brownies, I knew that I had to try it out with my class. We were also studying chemical changes so it fit in perfectly.

All the ingredients you need for Diet Coke Brownies is Diet Coke and Brownie mix (no eggs or oil required). We were all very excited!

First, we had to open our Brownie mix and pour it in our bowl!

Then, we had to open our Diet Coke and pour it in the bowl!

Next, we had lots of mixing to do. Thank goodness we had some great helpers!

Once all mixed, it was time to pour our Brownie batter into the pan!

We sent it to the cafeteria to be baked and this is our final product. They were soooo Yummy!
