Election Day

This is a little late, but I wanted to share.  For the election this year, my class along with Amy O'Dell's class conducted a mock election.  We had students register to vote, make rosters, and decorate voting booths.  Every child in 5th grade had an opportunity to vote and were given "I voted" stickers.  The kids had fun and so did I.  I posted pictures...I hope you can see them.

Happy Thanksgiving

The last week and a half has been crazy.  I enjoy having a day off work so much, but I hate when I have to spend it sick:(.  I woke up last Monday with the worst sore throat ever!  Turns out it was strep.  I was out of work all week except Friday.  I finally started feeling better on Saturday.
I enjoyed spending time with my husband's family for Thanksgiving.  The time together and the great food was just what I needed.  I spent the day after Thanksgiving putting up my Christmas tree.  I put it up while my 16 month old was napping....hoping he would not notice it when he woke up.  Boy was I WRONG....I am going to have to move it to the kitchen before it ends up in the floor....lol.

What a week!

Teachers can always tell by the behavior of the students if there is a full moon.  Having a full moon and Halloween all in the same week is almost too much to handle.  However, I made it!  My 5th grade team dressed up as Alice in Wonderland for our book character day.  Trying to teach dressed as Alice is quite a challenge, but it was fun.  I would post a picture, but I can't figure out how.
