Earth Day
Tuesday, April 22nd was Earth Day. To celebrate Earth Day, we read a couple books about how we can "be green," saw a guest speaker speak about "being green," and made coffee filter Earths. I hope everyone had a wonderful Earth Day!

Happy Easter
For a short school week, it sure was a busy week! Yesterday, TRAILS took a community trip to McDonalds and Berkots. It's nice that the weather is warming up, so we are able to walk different places in town. We had a wonderful breakfast at McDonalds. After breakfast, we headed over to Berkots. While at Berkots, students had a list of items they had to find and write the price of that item. Students also had a list of items they needed to buy for school. Some students had a small list of items to buy for themselves. Everyone did a wonderful job at breakfast, shopping, and walking to/from community!!
Today we made Rice Krispie treat eggs to celebrate Easter. We bought all our supplies yesterday while at Berkots. I showed the kids a video of what we were making...and of course the video made it look so easy! :) Our treats were super sticky, so we had to put some butter on hands to keep the treats from sticking to our hands while shaping the eggs. One student said, "my hands are really shinny!" We put some M&M's inside the eggs, so there is a little treat inside...just like a plastic egg. They were able to take 1 treat to lunch and eat it. The kids really seemed to enjoy themselves!
I hope everyone has a wonderful long weekend and Happy Easter!!!

Happy Easter
It's finally Spring and I'm REALLY hoping we will start to see some warm weather! I found this super cute craft on Pintrest, which the kids really enjoyed creating. You take pom-poms, clip clothes pins to them, and dip them into different colors to decorate your eggs. The colors are so bright and cheerful!
Surprise!!!
What a wonderful surprise the kids and teachers pulled off today!! Today was my birthday and when I came back from lunch, I was welcomed to a surprise party which included my dad! :) I was so surprised, I started to cry! It was a perfect surprise and a great party! Everyone sang, we enjoyed some yummy treats, and we walked around to share some of our treats with other teachers. And I got the most beautiful flowers from the kids! :) Thank you all for a wonderful birthday!! :)
