Ba-By-Q

We had a little get-together for some friends to welcome baby Naomi. We just wanted to hang out, eat, and enjoy company without the pressures of a shower (with the girly games). I made a few decorations for the party:






But the real fun was hanging out with some great friend from near and far:




Somehow I missed getting a picture of Brooke, Mark, Rebecca, and Kyle! Sorry guys, we might have to recreate a picture at an upcoming soccer game!!

Thank you all for coming, we had a blast! :)

Bunny

About a year ago I got a bunny as my classroom pet. I have wanted a Netherland Dwarf bunny for quite some time because of their cute ears and they stay small. Small bunny = perfect for classoom life. So after the beloved Max (my old guinea pig) left us, I knew now was the time to get a bunny! Thank goodness my sister Anna looks on Craigs List all the time for animals because she actually found a Netherland Dwarf Bunny that was up for adoption! YAY! I got her a couple of days after I found the post and was so excited. The kids decided to name her Maddi after a character in the book Fever 1793 . If you like historical fiction books,  you should check it out because it's really good! Little did I know that bunnies are full of personality! On her first day home she bit me 3 times and got me 2 times with her nails. Good thing is now she likes me (most of the time) and is much more friendly! She lets the kids in the class pet her and feed her. She also hops around the classroom....

Sun

We started our study of Space with the Sun. We first read Genesis 1:14-19 and talked about how God created the Sun and the Moon. We then watched this very cute video made by Story Bots. If you haven't seen this show on Netflix, I highly recommend it! I ordered this book off of Amazon and we read the portions about the sun together. Next we read a poem about the sun and they colored a picture of the sun. For Math, we sorted pictures of the Sun, Moon, and Earth. Naomi and Isaiah took turns counting how many of each object we had. Isaiah continued counting, while Naomi started to add. How many Suns and Moons are there? How many Moons and Earths are there? Very cute activity that you can find here .  For phonics Naomi and I played this game to practice CVC words. We each drew 5 cards and tried to find a place to put them that made an actual word. We were able to play this game a couple of times! I was very surprised at how much fun Naomi had playing this! When we were finished playing...

New Years Eve

Happy New Years! For New Year's Eve Jeff and I were invited to a murder mystery party. The theme was a masquaerade party with wealthy guests. Jeff played an owner of a dry cleaner in town and I was a doll maker. The night was split into different sessions where we were each given things to say or do. It was almost like live clue where you had to figure out the mystery. Jeff and I both had a lot of fun! Thanks for hosting Greg and Kate, we had a blast! After the mystery was solved we hung out until the ball dropped at midnight. Shortly after Jeff and I left because I was SO tired! :) Happy 2014!
