Hi! It may not have been the outcome we wanted but we sure did have a great time campaigning for Vega! The kids were amazing! I was so proud of their creativity and hard work! However, the most heart warming moment came right before the watch party! There was a countdown on the screen before it started. The class, on their own, decided to hold hands for good luck. It was such an incredible moment that I feel blessed to have been there to see. This is what a true school family is. This class is wonderful. I love how they are there for each other and get so involved in the things we do.
We are writing each morning in our Thankful Journals. It's a great way to start our days! We also wrote about a having a pet turkey.
It's hard to believe but I was thinking so much about Vega that Monday's excitement felt like it was a few weeks ago! We certainly did a lot this week! Monday we celebrated the end of our Pixie Tricks series. We had so much fun dressing as characters from the book series, making fairy house villages with our peer helpers (we're still working on these), building fairy houses along the path in the woods behind our school, rewriting a new Pixie Tricks book, and getting our own magic bags!
What a week...going to be hard to top this one for sure! I look forward to talking to you all at conferences. The office has a copy of the times. You can also email me if you need a reminder. Monday's conferences up until 1:15 will be held in the art room because the kids will be in our regular classroom with a sub. All other conferences will be held in the first grade room.
