It's Fall Y'all!

Yee-haw! What an amazing day! "It's Fall Y'all" day was a real hit! 


We made puppets, a treat called "Gratitude Mix", had a campfire, enjoyed a Thanksgiving video, and took more photos than I thought my phone could hold! It was a truly special day, and I'm so thankful to the boys and girls for their enthusiasm and infectious energy! They're all so easy to please and it's a pleasure to be their teacher. 

The Gratitude Mix was my favorite part of the day.  Each ingredient was special because it was a symbolic reminder of things we should be thankful for. 


Here's the "recipe"! 
  • the Cinnamon Toast Crunch represented the roof we all have over our heads
  • the Hershey's Kisses are for the hugs and kisses we get from our families and loved ones
  • the sour Skittles remind us that we can learn important lessons from the "sour" moments in our lives
  • the Teddy Grahams remind us to be thankful for the toys and gifts we receive like teddy bears and i-Pads
  • the mini-marshmallows represent the squishy things in life that bring joy: babies, puppies, pillows under our head
  • The cupcake-flavored Goldfish cookies remind us to appreciate parties and celebrations of all kids
  • the animal crackers represent all of the animals, big and small 
  • and the mini-Oreos remind us to always be building bridges with others. This particular ingredient is my favorite because that's what I encourage my students to do everyday.  The wafers, well, those represent you and me. The icing? That's the bridge we build between us.



Thank you to Miss Doria for making sure everyone had a generous serving of our Gratitude Mix! 

The puppets by Dancing Crayon Design were a real hit! 



No cowboy hat? No problem! Make your own like Alessio did! 




And like any special day, it's always better when you share it with great friends!
