Writing in Snow - M/W Class

This kind of "snow" is great for drawing, it isn't cold, and it doesn't melt!

Snow in Gilbert? M/W Class

Using shaved ice from our snow cone machine, the M/W boys and Debbie have fun making snowballs and throwing them at the teacher! Brrrr!!

Snowball Target Practice - T/Th Class

Snowballs made of shaved ice provide a frosty experience for the T/Th kids as they try to shape the balls and launch them -- at me!

Snow in Gilbert? T/Th Class

Oh, yes! The best kind of snow, too. It comes in small quantities and it melts fast!

New Play Set for Preschool

A Christmas toy for my boys doubles as a fun preschool play set. I suppose it is as much a present for me as it is for the kids! :)

White Board Math - T/Th Class

Oh, writing and math are so much fun with white boards and dry erase markers!

Below Paityn, Alexis, Lily, and Stone display their work.





Busy at work: Julia, Hannah, Jaden, Grant, and Paige

Thankful Pilgrims - TTh Class

Hannah, Julia, Jaden, Paige, Stone, Lily, Alexis, and Grant

Although they were initially excited to try on the pilgrim costumes, I had to bribe them with cookies to keep them on long enough to snap a picture!

Thankful Pilgrims - MW Class

Pilgrims feasting - Tyler, Trenton, Patrick, and Ethan(we missed Reagan on this day)

Like the original pilgrims, we enjoyed turkey, corn, potatoes and dried apples; however the dessert -frosted animal cookies with sprinkles - brought us back to the 21st century.
