Earth Day

Thank you to our chaperones. The children had a fabulous time.

Barnes & Noble Bookfair

If you are out and about on Saturday, please make Barnes & Noble one of your stops! Barnes & Noble has so graciously offered to sponsor this book fair. A percentage of your purchase will go to the school library. Each teacher has a wish list of books for their classroom posted as well. I will be sending home a flyer that has the details, be sure to take the ID# (11337631) in with you so we are credited the percentage. This number is located on the flyer coming home. Tell your friends & family. If you can't make it to Barnes & Noble you can shop online.

Happy Shopping!!!

An Unexpected Visitor

We had a bit of excitement after recess this afternoon!! I unlocked the door to the classroom to be greeted by a turtledove. As your darlings know, I don't do very well with things that don't follow verbal directions...i.e. snakes, mice...and now BIRDS! So I slammed the door shut and we went to church! (We had to practice our parts for the mass tomorrow.) Fortunately, Mr. Gary & Mr. Rockers were able to coax the bird to the garden and all is well. It's never a dull moment around here!

All are welcome to attend mass tomorrow. We will be singing a special song. If you can't make it tomorrow we will be singing it at the First Communion mass as well.

Please call to schedule an interview with Father.  

Pretzel Time

To continue our theme of breaking bread, Debbie S. & Debbie K. in the cafeteria helped us make pretzels this afternoon. I will send home the recipe tomorrow. OH MY GOODNESS!

Field Trip!!

Friday we had a fabulous time at Panera! The Darlings were very polite and learned a few things about bread. Hopefully, they talked to you about it this weekend. We will be writing thank you letters to Panera this week.
Speaking of Panera...someone gave me a Panera gift card on Valentine's Day. It was in with all of my Valentine's but lost its way from a card possibly. I've asked the kids about it a few times, but they don't recall giving me one. If it was you, thank you so much! Panera is one of my favorite places to eat and I really do appreciate your generosity. If you could let me know I would like to thank you & your darling for the sweet gift!

A Little Cacth Up!

As you all know my Darling's pulled off the ultimate April Fool's trick on me! It is still the talk of the teacher's lounge!

 

Up close it looks completely harmless, but those that know me...if it's fast and slithery I'm not going to get close enough to see if it is real! All snakes will be treated as real until proven otherwise! The outburst of laughter after my screech was proof it was rubber. I just hope I remember this when 8th graduation comes around...

 

 

Next, on the creepy crawly adventures.... Mike Bernskoetter of Art's Pest Control stopped by to talk to the kids about bugs. He even brought in some Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches, and a Tarantula for the Darlings to see.

 

Long Time No See

As you may have heard we had several darlings out sick today.  Strep has worked it's way into our room and we just can't seem to kick it out! I promise to post pictures of my super funny April Fool's trick, a measurement activity & recess creations.
