A Special Surprise...

Today...I came to school to see this most wonderful and special surprise! I will be leaving RFP to teach part-time 1st grade at Robert Frost next year.  This will be my FIRST year out of kindergarten! It's a super emotional time and I'm so thankful to have some of the best co-workers ever!!!
I had to bring in my kiddos to see how thoughtful the teachers are at our wonderful school. I might even share my Milk Duds with them :) 

Friday!!!!!!!!

A very happy birthday for Carson....and LOOK! We got a new piggy and elephant book :) Whoop whoop!!!! 

We wrote a GREAT advice book this week to next year's class :) 

Shawn Cable came to RFP this week. What a terrific visit! He was fantastic and so prepared! He showed us how the green screen works....it was AWESOME! 

See? He showed them what it looks like if you have a chair covered w/green fabric. Kiera said, "You'll blend in!"

Flying over Sioux Falls! Woohoo! 

Lexie earned her counting star this week :) 

Ha! We are doing a balloon pop every day, until the last day of school! 

SOOOOO CUTE! Braylee's little brother. We are SO lucky that we got to meet him and learn all about him. He's lucky to have such an awesome big sister! 

Happy birthday to Marshall too! We got an Elise Parsley book!!! Thanks Marshall! 

Some recent pictures for your enjoyment!

A VERY happy and special birthday wish for you, Ariana!!! K02 wouldn't be the same without you :) 

We are trying to write our own surveys! They adore this activity and tallying up the data! 

We've been having reading playdates! Sure helps us become avid readers! 

What a wonderful birthday to celebrate Braeden's birthday! We hope you have a very SPECIAL day tomorrow with your family :) :) 

How Was Your Mother's Day?

Some of my most FAVORITE 5th graders (who used to be in K02) came back to visit kindergarten and enjoy some time together :) LOVE these kids!!!! They've grown up to be wonderful humans! They all still have their unique traits....just like they did in K! Best part of teaching! 

Awww! A homemade card, AND a K workbook, AND a Starbucks treat?! You rock Danika! Thanks so much sweetie! 

Today we wrote stories about different emotions we've felt and what made us feel that way. 

We are also continuing to build teen numbers. We want our children to see that teen numbers are made up of one set of 10 and extra 1's. 

Such sweet kiddos...

I got a lovely little basket of teacher tools and tootsie rolls! YUM! Thanks Mackenzie :) 

Awww....a cute sunshine catcher from Braylee! I'll hang it up at home so H can see it!! 

Homemade donuts? Um, yes please!!! Thanks Audrina!!!
