Grandparent Celebration!

A few weeks ago we invited our grandparents to school to celebrate just how special they are in our lives!  I came up with the idea after hearing that my parents drove four hours to be with my nieces for their Grandparents' Day!  I realized then that grandparents will do just about anything to spend time with their grandchildren.  You should have seen the look of excitement on the faces of my students when they saw their grandparents walk through the door!  I think the grandparents were just as excited to be there (one was even taking pictures of her grandchild's name tag)!  Thank you, grandparents, for taking time out of your day to spend it with us at school!  You will never know how much it meant to your loved one!!!!

Double Trouble

Last Friday my class performed in front of the whole school!  We had so much fun and they did such a great job!!!  After they were finished they asked if we could do it again!  We have been learning our doubles addition facts during calendar time and to help us we have been singing a song called "Double Trouble".  Click the link below to view a video of my sweet class performing for the school!  (My camera ran out of memory, so we didn't get it all, but we got most of it!)
