Christmas Jammies

Angie was unsure if the boys would want matching Christmas Pajamas.  When she asked they acted like it was a silly question.  So, she showed them this pair they both liked them after our Disney trip and in the cart they went.

Our annual Christmas Jammies pictures - they always make each other laugh and don't seem to mind even sitting for these pictures!

Angie needed to run some errands, the boys didn't want to change out of pj's so they were allowed to lounge in the back while we did all of our picku ups and we picked up the coveted reindeer cake pop after trying 3 different Starbuck's.

These smiles can fill a Mama with so much joy!

Balloons over Broadway and Thanksgiving Feast in Second Grade

Adam's teacher is great at making children feel like they belong and that they each have strengths to contribute to their community classroom.  The week of Thanksgiving began with this message for her class.

In social studies Adam's class studies the history of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.  They read the biography of the man that made the first balloons and learned about Herold Square.

Then they made their own Balloons Over Broadway.

One day they made the buildings, then the next day they designed their balloons and came up with a materials list for their teacher.  The next day they made taxi cabs, and the last day balloons.  On Friday they had the parade...

Adam made the character Cat Kid.

Then after the parade they had a Thanksgiving feast of apples and popcorn.

November at School

Fifth grade made tie-dyed t-shirts for mixtures and solutions!

David's teacher let kids get Kona Ice at recess, sometimes there are perks to being oldest in the school.

Before and after school the boys spend time in Angie's office and many times they create art!

David's class earned "twin day"  Each class member was given a twin and then they decided what they would wear to be" twins" they also earned Kona Ice.

David's best friend Megan was twins with their teacher.

The boys were festive for Veterans Day, David loves tobe patriotic.

There were many Kona Ice Days...

Adam wrote an information book called Swimming Question and Answer.

Adam's class door for November...

Adam's class traced each other and then had to measure themselves with different units.

Adam's class made a Veterans Quilt...

Adam building a clock with his partner... his teacher had to really convince him to make it like this, he wanted to make his clock a number line in increments of 5.

Aam outside for math doing measuring...

Adam's class made Vowel Town.  They had to use as many vowel teams as possible in their town...

Adam had some interesting stream, school, lake, and of course he found a way to work in poop.

Adam's class also had a celebration of finishing the book The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane.  Adam loved the book.  He child was able to bring their own "Edward" and

Write their journey...

Sometimes in the hall Angie gets to see Adam or David and friends.

David and his good friend Carter...

Adam's friend Gabo had a birthday and we celebrated after school!

Crazy hat or hair day!

Last year for these two to be together - that is a hard thing to think about.
