Day 334

How cute is this?!? I am totally stealing this idea from another teacher and letting my kids make their own snowglobes.

Day 333

Stitch loves to curl up on my shoes.

Day 332

Stitch likes to suck on his tail. It's really funny. He's a mess!

Day 331

Stitch wants to go back to school with me.

Day 330

Day 329

I really want to know what toy makers are thinking. Do they really think this Doggie Doo is going to be on every child's Christmas list? It comes with a pooper scooper. Feed and walk your little pup. When he makes a mess, you clean it up! Sounds like a blast. :/

Day 328

Playing Cranium on Thanksgiving...who's your partners Kayla? :)

Day 327

Happy Turkey Day!

Day 326

Celebrating my Dad's birthday :)

Day 325

Stitch sleeping in Justin's laptop box

Day 324

Me playing as Sheldon and Justin playing as Bernadette :) Some of the questions are really hard. If you land on a blue space, then you get to play Rock-Paper-Scissors-Lizard-Spock to win a card.

Day 323

So excited to find this game at Target!! I'm going to be Sheldon :)

Day 322

So sweet!!

Day 321

We started making a timeline today. I love seeing the kids' artwork. So cute!

Day 320

Cause: A cute puppy is at the pet store.
Effect: We buy it.

I always love to see what the kids come up with for their cause/effect poster.

Day 319

I made this wreath at Hobby Lobby a few years ago but this year I added Winter Stitch into the center.

Day 318

The tree is finished! It's so nice to come home and enjoy the lights. It makes me happy :)

Aww....

Day 316

Ok...last day for the disguised turkeys. Go Vols!

Day 315

And another one...they are just so cute!

Day 314

This was my favorite! Turkey disguised as a present

Day 313

So there are two pictures for today because I have to show how the project was supposed to turn out and what I got instead. Students were given a turkey to dress up in a disguise, and they were supposed to write a story about how the disguise was going to save the turkey from being eaten for Thanksgiving. The first picture is one example of what the project should look like. The bottom picture is a mix of twigs, leaves, grass, and pinecones that were taped onto the posterboard. Where is the turkey? Hiding under the leaf in the top left corner...only the turkey cut out is not there. Where is the story? In the top right hand corner...one sentence written in crayon that is almost the same color as the posterboard. And by the end of the day I was left with a pinecone and a stick in my floor. Oh, the stories that teachers have to tell. :/

Day 312

The tree is up! The decorations/ornaments are a work in progress...

Day 311

Stitch is ready for the Christmas tree to go up!
