A Holiday Fiesta!!

Pinatas and Gingerbread men made for a fun party!

The room is ready!

Yummy! Gingerbread men!
Making gingerbread men
We'll put them in the oven to bake a little bit more.
Break that pinata! GO! GO! GO!

One, two, three, SWING!

Guess whose shoes??
We swung and we swung as hard as we could, but that ol' pinata must have been made of wood!!

Finally Miss Sarkees breaks it open!!
Thanks Miss Dena for the pizza!!

The lunch bunch!
Huddle up and let's make a plan to find those gingerbread men!  Can you believe they jumped out of the oven and ran away?? 

They weren't in the office!

Here's the library. Didn't we see them in a book??

Yes, the library was the best place to look!

Run, run as fast as you can! Too bad we caught you, gingerbread man!

Just as good as we thought!

What a gingerbread adventure!!

Happy Hannukah

Last Friday some of our favorite volunteers, Avi and Aaron, came to Queen Griffin's room to teach both classes about traditions of Hanukkah. It was fun to learn about holiday customs new to many of us.
Our friend Avi is in the light blue and Aaron is two to the right. Hi guys!

Laptops!




Many Thursdays we enhance our technology and learning using the grade level laptops. There are great, free programs available at home, too, like www.starfall.com.
