Red day/gardening

Today has been a busy day.  Children wore the color red to bring Red ribbon week to a close.

And this morning we had a special performance by the school choir in our Friday assembly.  They did a great job singing the song "Consider yourself " from Oliver Twist.

And lastly we got to plant our red tulip bulbs that will bloom in the spring to remind us of our promise that we made to be drug free!

Engineer visit

Today we had a special visitor - a civil engineer from HALFF.  His name was Jim Miller and he came out to speak to us about engineering and bridges.  

He shared with us the different types of bridges and the materials that they use.

We got to see real plans that they have used when designing bridges in the DFW area.

And we got to touch the different types of materials that they use.

Camping day

Today we wore camping wear to school.  There were a few kids in camo and some in pajamas, like myself!    

Tomorrow is wear red day and gardening clothes.  We will be planting tulip bulbs in the morning!

Today was Hawaiian day and boy did we have fun!  We all got a lei and wore flip flop, what could be better than that!  Here is what some of us looked like :)

Tomorrow is camping wear like camo, flannel, sweats, or pj's.  I know what I will be wearing - pajamas!

Team spirit day!

Today as part of Red Ribbon Week the kids wore their favorite team shirt or jersey.  I must say we have some serious team rivalries in our classroom!  :)

Tomorrow is Beach day....wear your Hawaiian shirt and flip flops!

Fire safety

Yesterday the Grapevine Fire Department clowns came and did a fire safety class with our 3rd graders, it was quite entertaining!  Somehow I got selected to participate in the lesson, which was fun except for having flour thrown all over me :). Here's a few pictures from the program........
