Thanksgiving Kindergarten Style

We had such a good time celebrating Thanksgiving in Kindergarten! The best part was going to the cafeteria to have a traditional Thanksgiving lunch. It was a blast having all the parents come and to be able to eat lunch with our friends!

We are thankful for the kitchen staff at Buffalo Point! They stayed really late that day to make sure everyone got yummy food!

My name is Tom Turkey

And I'm afraid as I can be.

I'm wearing my disguise

So you won't catch me.

Kindergarten parents are the most creative! Look at some of the ways they disquised Tom Turkey this year!

AMAZING!

Super Hero Halloween

Every year I make my nieces and nephew their Halloween costumes, with a lot of help from my sister and a glue gun! Of course they all have to be themed, and this years theme was.....SUPER HERO'S! Plus one 80's girl and one 70's girl. I never did get a good picture of Taelor but her costume as cute.

Here is Wonder Women and Super Girl-well...that's my version anyway!

The cutest Robin ever!

So cute!

Batgirl, Batman and Robin

Of course I kept on asking Cass if she needed a costume and she said no. And of course the day of she gets invited to party and needs a costume. Good thing I had some 80's girl accessories!

Halloween

I know...this post is a little bit late in coming! I LOVE Halloween. I LOVE the costumes, the parades, the pumpkins, the field trips, and the parties! This year was so much fun! Thanks to all the parents that came and helped this year!

It is NOT Halloween without a little Witches Brew!

This is our decoupaged pumpkin project that I think turned out pretty good. We used our pumpkins to learn about measurement. This pumpkin won the biggest prize because it needed the biggest pumpkin belt!

My cute afternoon girls all dressed up for the parade.

This pumpkin won for the smallest pumpkin.


This is the only picture I have of my costume. This year I was the wicked queen from Snow White. It was fun!

Here are the tallest pumpkins!

We went on a field trip to the pumpkin patch. We had a blast!

We made spiders....

and ate eyeballs!

Birthday Gifts

So, lets face it...birthdays are painful! Unless you are 5 and then you can't wait to turn another year older! This is why I celebrate my birthday every year with my Kindergarten kids. They get so excited about it that it's impossible to be depressed over turning ANOTHER year older. Usually my family all comes to school that day and they tell embarrassing stories about me and the kids LOVE it. But this year the fam couldn't make it so it was up to me! I decided that we would have a day full of things that I like to do. (creatively designed around the things we HAD to do that day anyway!) We started the day by finishing decoupaging our pumpkins(see the next post for a picture) with all sorts of bright colored tissue paper, and then sprinkling glitter on them while the glue was still wet. I think they turned out super cute. Then we had a picnic lunch with all my favorite things. As I passed out the food, I told them a story that related the food item to me. We had Cache Valley String Cheese-obvious reasons! Apples-because I love to ride horses and my horses name is Apples. PB and J sandwiches-because that was the sandwich my mom would make me daily growing up-LOVE THEM! And for desert we had sugar cookies because....well I couldn't think of a reason except because they were cheap and I was tired of shopping at that point!

It was a great day and a lot of fun! Thanks so much to my family and my school family for making my day fantastic. The presents and birthday wishes were the best!

All a person needs is a handwritten note and two Popsicle sticks glued together!

Yes...this is a picture of me and I LOVE it!
