3rd Grade Gingerbread House Day 2010

Every year in the 3rd grade, we have our annual Ginger Bread House Day. This year was the first year that I did not just get to sit back and watch all of the kids make their own creations. With Kylie being a 3rd grader I actually got to sit down and help make one.
She knew exactly what she wanted to do and the only thing that I really had to help her with was putting the frosting on the house and the ground.
Here she is just decorating away.

First Day of School

I can't believe that we are heading back to school already. It seems like the summer just flew right by and we missed it.
Kylie is a big third grader now. So hard to believe that she is in the same class that I teach now.
Her new teacher is Mrs. Duffin.


Zach was mad because he wanted to go to school with us. He kept saying, "I go you!" So he was not about to get his picture taken. That is why I am in the picture with him.

Back to School gift for Kylie's teacher.

Kylie wanted to take something to her teacher for the first day of school, and I saw this cute idea on one of the blogs that I follow. I will have to see if I can find out which one it was.

Anyway so you take fortune cookies and half cover them in chocolate.
We used purple because that is Kylie's teachers favorite color.



After the decorating, we put it into this cute chinese take out box with a sign that said, "I'm so fortunate to have you as a teacher!"

We also sent her with a Pepsi since that is also her drink of choice. Just like me!

Poem Day at School

The week before school got out Kylie's class had a Poem day at school.
Parents could come to school and see their kids recite one of the poems that they had memorized, plus see them act out a mini play. In the play Kylie was the narrator.



Her poem was titled "Love"



Waiting while the other kids were presenting.



Mini play!
