'Tis the Season for....craziness!!

Happy, Happy Holidays from us to you!


WOW! What a busy, crazy time of year for everyone...and we're no exception. 
The last few weeks have been a whirlwind of fun. And excitement. We thought we better get you all caught up...

*Minty (in case you haven't heard...she's our elf) continued to surprise us daily with her shenanigans. She definitely has kept us on our toes and we were sad to see her go today. We've loved every minute of it though... We think she's pretty great! AND she said we are ALL on the NICE LIST!!!! Yahoo!




 


*We joined forces with our 7th grade friends and Ms. Gareis (the science teacher) for a fun morning of science and experiments. We had SO much fun! We tested what would happen to candy canes in cold water, warm water and vinegar. We also got to see what baking soda does when mixed with liquids...so cool! Our 7th grade friends were so kind and helpful!

 

 


*GRINCH day. Yep, we did. We celebrated grinch day. There was a lot of green. A lot of grinch themed activities. A lot of green snacks. And a lot of green fun!
      
 

 


*Polar Express Day PJ's and a hot chocolate party??? We're in. We spent the morning rotating through different Polar Express activities before we loaded the train and headed for the North Pole. (I really think I had them convinced there was a real train picking us up ;)). After recess, we boarded the train and spent the afternoon enjoying The Polar Express and sipping on hot chocolate. A perfect, cozy afternoon!

 



*Holiday Party. The perfect way to end the year together was celebrating the holidays, as well as each other. We're so, very, very lucky to be able to spend our days together. We really are like a family in room 104 and we feel very blessed because of it! Our day consisted of math and reading Christmas activities, a few minute to win it games, making magic reindeer food, opening a few presents, eating a few snacks and of course...having a lot of fun!
 

 


Wishing you ALL a very MERRY Christmas and a Happy New Year! See you next year!!! :)


Love, Miss Weeding

Meet Minty!

We are very proud and excited to introduce you to...MINTY! 


We were blessed with a wonderful surprise Monday morning as we entered the classroom and we couldn’t be more excited to share! Our old friend, Santa, heard how wonderful of a class we have this year, so he sent a special friend to keep an eye on us and make sure it stays that way the whole month of December

Here enters Minty! 

We had a tough time coming up with the perfect name, but after careful consideration (and a little voting) we think we absolutely chose the best name yet. 


Minty will be making the journey back and forth between the North Pole daily to report back to Santa and we’ve got our fingers crossed that she has nothing but good things to say all month long! Stay tuned for some of Minty’s shenanigans.... we can’t wait to see where she’ll be appearing every morning in room 104! 😁
