The Weber Weekly

WOW, what a whirlwind of a week!!!  Between my son getting croup, two practice drills (fire and lockdown), being gone two days at Common Core, and the late Haunted Trails night last night, I feel like my head is spinning!  If only I could relax and have some downtime this weekend, but nope, we're driving four hours for my twin niece/nephew's 3rd birthday party followed by my 30th birthday celebration.  Whew!  Maybe I'll get lucky and Keaton will take a nap in the car and I can join him! :)

We wrote our first Snazzy Snack recipe for "Apple Smiles" during writing this week and then enjoyed the recipe during Social Studies Wednesday afternoon.  The recipe was a BIG HIT!  The kids loved it!!  I will be posting pictures of the kids in action sometime next week.  I will hold on to all of the recipe cards each month and the kids will then take home a recipe book at the end of second grade.  What a fun treasure!  BIG thanks to the families of Nathan, Zachary, and Edwin for being our first Snazzy Snack Shoppers.

I am so proud of the kiddos for earning their third Class Paw this week!  For a large class of 31, I could not be more pleased with their behavior.  We have a great group of very respectful and responsible kids!  Our Paw was given this week by another teacher who couldn’t believe how awesome our class was at the fire drill.  That’s wonderful!! 

I wanted to thank all of you who were able to make it out to our Haunted Trails Night.  What a BLAST!!  I really enjoy spending time with the kids outside of school and this event takes the cake!   I don’t know what’s better…the fact that everyone had a really great time or the fact that Haunted Trails graciously offered to donate some of their profit to our 2^nd grade class?!  What we intended to be a fun night out ended up earning us close to $300.00!!!!!  That’s incredible!  The other second grade teachers and I have decided that this money should go back to all of you, so we will be using it to offset the cost of our field trips this year.  We couldn’t be more excited!  Not to mention, we all had a super fun time together.  I was able to get a lot of great pictures, so I will be uploading those to the blog very soon.  Thank you for bringing your kids out to enjoy the evening with us! 

Sorry this is a very jumbled up weekly update that seems to be all over the place.  That’s kind of how my mind feels right about now!   I’m really looking forward to a normal week next week.  Oh wait, it won’t be normal because it’s Homecoming Spirit Week.  Well, at least it will be fun!  Here’s what’s in store for next week:

Monday – PJ Day

Tuesday – Hat Day

Wednesday – Dress Your Best (Picture Day)

Thursday – Mismatched Day

Friday – Green & White Day

Saturday – Homecoming Parade

 Have a great weekend!!
