Avery - School Musical

Just before Thanksgiving, the entire fourth grade held a a musical called "Dig It". Avery's class were dressed as skeletons. I helped with the skeleton costumes, the backdrop, and skeleton makeup for all 3 performances. I spent many hours tracing and cutting out bones!

Rocky the Rhino

Sterling brought home "Rocky" the rhino for a weekend.  We enjoyed the weekend with Rocky.  He even went to church with us.  This is a class project where everyone takes Rocky home and writes about it in a book.

Avery - Field Trip

Avery's class took a Field Trip to a local park / ranch. It was a park I didn't even know existed; however, it was very interesting with beautiful scenes and houses. And, the kids enjoyed the day and even learned something.

Storybook Parade - Sterling

The entire Kindergarten dressed as a character from their favorite storybook and had a parade around the school.  Parents and the other grades were able to watch.  Well, since Sterling loves "Tacky the Penguin" books lately and he was a penguin for Halloween, he dressed as Tacky!

This is his teacher as Emily Elizabeth from Clifford!

Halloween Party

I am finally getting around to posting pictures of our Halloween party.

INVITATION

PARTY TO DO LIST

PUMPKIN BALLOON POP

I saw this on marthastewart.com and had put on my Pinterest a while back.  I was anxious to make it.   I filled the 3 of the balloons with $1.00 bills.  The remaining balloons were filled with fake money or erasers.  This was actually pretty easy and worked well with the "T" quilting pins.

The kids really enjoyed popping the balloons and looking for the money!  I used a plastic toothpick for the popper.

CANDY TABLE

DECORATED PARTY ROOM / GARAGE

PICTURE AREA

MANTLE DECOR - I found this printable on another blog (now I can't find it).  I printed on cardstock and then sprayed with spray adhesive and "glittered".

GOODIE BAGS 

GHOSTS - I made these from an old white sheet, Styrofoam ball, ribbon, and paint for the eyes.

I did not get the greatest picture of the candy table, but it was really cute.  And, I didn't get any pictures of the food.  Basically, we had "kid friendly" food--Bagel Bites, chicken nuggets, sandwiches, popcorn, cookies, and green punch.

Avery - Field Day

Avery had her Field Day (actually a few weeks ago).  The class came up with the name "Stingrays".  As the HR parent, I also made the sign! :)
