First Thanksgiving

Last Thursday Emory's class celebrated the first Thanksgiving. They had been learning about the Pilgrims and Indians and spent the day doing activities that they had learned about. They got to choose between dressing as an Indian or Pilgrim, as you can see the Pilgrims were outnumbered!

 Emory went as Pocahontas, her favorite Disney Princess.

 One of her classmates Dad came and showed them how to shoot a bow and arrow.

 Emory was able to hit the Turkey. She was very proud of herself!

 They also played games that Pilgrim kids played and had a wonderful Thanksgiving feast!



Emory's School Work & 2nd Quarter Progress Report

A few of Emory's worksheets from the past two months!

 Emory brought home her 2nd quarter progress report last week. She continues to enjoy school!

Cason's School Work

A few of Cason's worksheets from October and November.

 Cason's teacher has a son in first grade named Jesse and he and Cason have become good friends. Jesse colored this picture for Cason because he knows how he loves green tractors!

 A few weeks ago Cason insisted on making everyone in his class and Jesse a paper airplane. Mrs. V sent home a thank you card and said that everyone enjoyed playing with them.

 Cason has learned to draw flowers!

 He is also all about A B patterns these days!

He is getting much better at coloring within the lines.

 He is also into writing the date after his name!!

 This is from several weeks ago, but I loved how he needed to put a line in between his first and last name. He also had to include his age!

Charlotte's Web Day

Last Friday Emory's class had Charlotte's Web Day.

 Emory's first grade class all dressed up!

 A web dessert, Emory said the icing was delicious!

 Farmer Emory!

 The kids watched the movie and compared it to the book!

 A few of their treats! The kids each had a "feed trough" that they ate their goodies from.

Emory had a great time celebrating Charlotte's Web!!

I loved that her teacher texted all the parents pictures throughout the day!

Birdhouse

Since it was raining again today I decided to let the kids paint their birdhouses. They both worked on them on and off all day and did an excellent job!

Cason's Birdhouse

 He decided to make it colorful for the birds!

 Emory's Birdhouse

 She worked very hard on it!

 She painted a worm on the back so the birds would remember what they like to eat!

She is always thinking!

Tomorrow we will put Emory's string through the top and then look for a spot in the yard to hang them up!

SFA Homecoming Bonfire

Last night we took the kids to the SFA homecoming bonfire. They were both super excited to go and had a great time!

 Emory got hot after the fire took off and got super big!

Cason got tired while we were there and they both were asleep before we got home. 

Fall Fest 2015

Last Wednesday was Fall Fest at church and this year Emory chose to go as Elsa and Cason Batman.

 Queen Elsa and Batman before leaving for Fall Fest!

 Their picture from the photo booth.

 It is a little blurry because I had to copy it from the church website, plus they both failed to smile!

 The kids played many games and had fun!

 The pig race, Cason's green pig won this one.

 Emory scored!

 Emmy and Emory

 Cason refused to wear his mask over his eyes.

 Emory shooting, she shot Darth Vader

 Cason shot several balloons too, but his bullet did not stick.

After the games the kids trick or treated on the first floor and then headed to gym to bounce in the bonce houses with Dad while I worked the GA/RA bake sale. They had a great time at Fall Fest this year!
