I Think I Can, I Think I Can, I Know I Can!

Report cards sent home today! Parent/teacher interviews tomorrow...Two days until spring break! This Week, especially today, is trying my patience...and I know I can't reach my dear little students if I going to be at my ropes end...so tonight my prayer is for more patience and love to pour on my students..especially those pulling on the end of my rope..they need it the most...but I think I can, I think I can, I KNOW I can make these last 2 days before break happy days! You can sigh a prayer for me too...
Then I'm off to my cousins for the weekend and then a night at a friends in the city and a day of shopping after! What better way to start a holiday?!:)

Fundraiser Craft Sale

Last night was our fundraiser craft sale. It includes an auction of crafts and baking people donate and crafts the children have made at school. Also each class had a booth selling food or drink or a booth where you could play games! Our class sold chips and cheese sauce, cinnamon rolls and cinnaswirls. They did a great job serving and counting change! We had our booth decorate abit Hawiian..grass skirts on the front, bright flowers around the window and they each had a lei to wear! Then we had made the kool aid jammer bags I posted about a couple days ago for the auction and they went for $55 a bag! I was shocked and thrilled! Overall the evening was a great success!

Good Times...Good Friends...

A former coteacher from down south was out and stopped by after school for coffee...actually bringing us snack!:) And then one of the board couples stopped by with more food so we had a small party going on! Anyway, was so good to be with her again and just talk and swap ideas! Doesn't happen often enough! Then home for sup and almost finished a dress I m trying to sew for myself! Now I need sleep...

Kool aid Jammer and Duct tape Bags!

We made these darling bags out of Kool aid Jammers and Duct tape for our school fundraiser craft sale next Friday. Everywhere I looked to make them said to sew together and I was NOT about to tackle sewing with my class!! And I was in love with this awesome colored and designed duct tape!So I used this idea but used duct tape instead of sewing! They had so much fun and I love how they turned out!! It took us 2 art classes and I got friends to come help both times..We left some as just bags and some as lunch bags...added handles to them all by folding duct tape strip in half and taping it on..

Craft sale next Friday! Our class is having a booth selling nachos, cinnamon rolls, and cinnaswirls! Let you know how it goes and how the bags sell!

Love from long ago

Social studies today was learning about things from long ago and what we had from long ago that was important..."ok class,what are some things from long ago that we have now and are important?" grade 2 boy, "love!". Ok i think he was trying to be abit funny and it was not the answer i was thinking of but deep down it was a good thought...where would i be without the love of those in the past?...

also had 2 of my students from last year, who had moved away, come spend the afternoon with us! Cause great excitment but was fun! :) good to see them again and they soon were part of the class and joining the discussions! Some little people just don't change!:)

Tonight us youth got together for our first Easter Contata practice...i'll just say we sure need a few more! actually wasn't bad for the first one!

ok time for sleep and to end this random post!

Mom and I came up to Grandpas yesterday so even got to be with them out of the deal!:)
Ok enjoy your day  and post later!

Rainbow Igloo

Here's a fun thing we've done this winter but it is alot of work...Make a rainbow igloo! Put a few drops food coloring in an icecream bucket. Have fun mixing colors! Fill bucket about 2/3of water and set outside to freeze. Do this to LOTS of buckets like maybe 30 we have. Once frozen remove giant icecube and stack together for igloo! Pour water on between layers to freeze together. Do this many times until your igloo is the size you want. BEWARE it takes LOTS of buckets as lots will break! Once done have story and hot chocolate in there! It really does look pretty!:)
