Candy Canes and the letter Jj

Did you know a candy cane looks like a Jj?  After saying a word that starts with Jj, each kid got a candy cane!

We also made AB patterns on candy canes.

James’s mom came and put our hand and foot prints on bowls and footstools for the WB auction.  The paintbrushes tickled!

These kiddos are extremely creative.  I’ll post the stories on the right bar of our blog.

Grandparents Day

What a fun day with our grandparents! The kids looked adorable in their turkey feathers.

Thanks, Grandparents, for coming! We hope you enjoyed our songs, video, snacks, and quilt making.
























(Congratulations on becoming a big sister, Lauren!)
Even my grandma came at the end of the day to read to us!

I'll make sure everyone gets a grandparent/grandchild picture. I will also have the "We Love Our Grandparents" DVD available in the Class Books buckets for you to borrow. Have a happy Thanksgiving!
