Gingerbread Building
We had sooooo much stuff for our gingerbread houses this year. The fourth grade worked in shifts with their book buddies to build the houses in the morning and then decorating was done all together in the afternoon.... Somehow we squeezed 45 kids into the room to decorate!
Donor's Choose
I have been incredibly fortunate this year in the way of donations. We were adopted by the Coach Foundation and got to spend $500 in the classroom. I wrote a Donor's Choose grant for our seat balls, which I now could not picture being without them. My parents gave a donation which Donor's Choose matched so we now have lots of new technology in our classroom.
I am always looking at match offers which come up on Donor's Choose all the time. Jamba Juice is sponsoring a match offer for any grant involving physical activity. I thought why not? I have a current grant written that will help ALL 140 first grade students. It is for equipment to use during our recess on the field. So, if you have friends in the other classrooms...share this link http://www.donorschoose.org/project/getting-active-at-recess/1156763/?verify=1952401445&rf=page_dccontent_2014_01_teacherid_1823107
We only have to cover $188 of the $350 to get equipment like balls, frisbees etc... to keep everyone active on the field!

Christmas Concert
In case people missed it or have relatives who would like to see it... here is one of the songs we sang.
Happy New Year- 2014
I can't believe it is 2014 already. I feel like it was just 1999 and we were all worried about the millennium. Maybe because Sydney, my daughter, will be turning 14 in a few weeks and I might be in a little denial!
It was my intention to update the blog over vacation, then of course I couldn't find the camera. I thought I had left it in school, however I found it in a school bag this weekend. So, I will put up some pictures probably not in order from December.
My resolution is to be better at this in 2014!
