The first day of FIRST GRADE!!!

I can't believe Madelyn is in First Grade already! She is super excited for school but I am a little sad that I won't be seeing her "just across the hall" this year.

Meet the Teacher

Madelyn and her First Grade teacher Ms. DiPaolo.

Meet the Teacher...and ME!!!

Tonight at Meet the Teacher, Madelyn saw a sweet little girl that was in my class last year. She ran up to her and said "Katie! You're in my class! Now you will get to see ME every day!!!"

"Picnic" at Sonic

Splashin' Around

Today was a good day to run through the
sprinkler!

PRECIOUS GIRLS!!!

If You Give a Moose a Muffin

Today we read the story "If You Give a Moose a Muffin" and made blueberry muffins!

GAGA

Ella dancing to Lady Gaga. Somehow the diaper and glow necklace seem like appropriate attire!

Pete's a Pizza

Today I read "Pete's a Pizza" to the girls. For lunch we made mini cheese pizzas. We cut shapes out of mozzarella cheese with cookie cutters. For dessert, we made fruit pizzas. While everything was baking we "acted out" the story and I pretended to make the girls into "pizzas". This one is close to my heart because when I was little and sad or homesick, my Grandma Mercer used to pretend to make me into "a loaf of bread".
