Fancy Day Fun

Our friend's feast was a huge success!  I absolutely loved seeing all the kids dressed in their best clothes.  They were so proud of their outfits when they came in.  You would not believe how well behaved our kiddos were.  The came in, sat down at their table, ordered their food and used impeccable manners while they ate.  It was a sight to see.  I heard lots of wonderful comments about Wright's Restaurant.  Many of them said it was the best restaurant they've been to and that they'd like to come again.  Our servers did a great job taking care of their section and the kitchen was quick.  Thank you so much to all those that sent food and came in to help make this event special.  I think this will be a day they remember for a long time to come.

We're so fancy!

Or are we...

Every morning we greet each other.  This morning we thought a proper handshake was in order since we were so dressed up.

We had excellent mood lighting so the pictures aren't the best quality.  

We ordered off menus.

 The service was fantastic.

We had special place mats.  Check out the cute waters too!

 This was our special for the day.

 It was a wonderful occasion!

We had an eventful five day week!  Seems like forever since we've been here a full five days. Thank you so much to all the families that were able to join us for our Heroes day celebration.  It sure was a fantastic assembly and we loved reading and sharing our math game with those that could come.

Our Wonderful Assembly!

 Thank you to all the families who came to read and play math games with us.

 Having fun on a beautiful day.

 Sorting shapes by attribute

Our weekly poem.  We sure had some awesome turkeys! 

Device day was a hit!  Everyone enjoyed some free time to play games.

 We had shapes in this covered box.  The kids had to reach in and find a shape without looking thinking about the attributes.  They thought this was pretty cool.

 Here is our special me for the week.  We sure think he's pretty great!

Here is last week's special me.  We love her too! 

Next week is our friends feast.  Thank you to all those that signed up to send something.  You can send it to the office the day of the event.  I will take lots of pictures so you can see how our fancy restaurant turns out.  Since we will be participating in some fine dining, your child is invited to dress up for the occasion in dress clothes or their favorite outfit.  We did this last year and it was adorable to see how fancy everyone got. 

Thank you so much to all the families and grandparents that donated books to our classroom library!  I am overwhelmed with gratitude!  We have them in a pile at the front of our classroom and are choosing one or two at random each time we do a read aloud.  The kids are so excited to hear the books that they donated.  We even made a place in our library just for donated books so they can read them during daily 5 rotation time and find them quickly.
