Just Keep Swimming...

Jonas finished another session of swim class this morning.  Mr. Matt said with a little more practice he'll be ready for Level 2...in the mean time, another round of Level 1 it is.

Good job, Jonas!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

We celebrated St. Patrick at school today.  Guess what??  Lucky the Leprechaun came to our classroom!  He obviously had a lot of fun...

But he lost his shoe, and a bunch of shamrocks!  Luckily my super students found the shoe and gathered all the shamrocks, and we left it for Lucky to come back and get.

We spent the rest of the day graphing Lucky charms, writing about what we would do if we had a pot of gold, measuring each other with shamrocks, playing shamrock bingo, playing a "find the leprechaun" game, enjoying yummy green cookies that Josh brought in, and having shamrock shakes...

Lucky came back during gym to get his shoe, and left the kids a pot of gold!  (Chocolate gold, that is!)

This is the leprechaun game.  The kids had to sound out silly words to look behind it and see if they found the leprechaun!

I love how much fun we have in my class!  Great day!

Fun in the Sun

I can't believe how nice it's been outside!  Is it really only March 19th???  Of course, we have been taking full advantage of the beautiful weather, and we spent a TON of time outside this weekend.  Here's some cute pictures...enjoy!

Quote of the Day

Jonas to me:  "I love you when I hug you, I love you when I kiss you, and I love you when I'm being disrespectful."

Lutheran Schools Week

Trinity does a really fun potluck/bubblefest family event as part of Lutheran Schools Week.  The kids had so much fun playing in the bubbles and seeing all the cool stuff they can do!

There is still more fun to come...although I'm not sure I'll share pictures of the staff vs. 7/8th grade volleyball game :-).  Pictures of the talent show are coming though...cuteness guaranteed!

Happy Birthday, Abby!

Abby is 2!  It is so hard to believe she is so old already.  She gets cuter every day!

The older kids had a hard time letting Abby open her own presents...surprising, I know.

The Rest of February

Matt posted on the Lafferty blog today, and since I can't let him beat me at blogging, I figured I better get moving!  

We went swimming at the hotel a couple weeks ago, and as usual, Jonas never wanted to get out of the water. He was happy to not have "rules" like swim class for a while!

We went to the aquarium while we were in Niagara Falls, too.  We watched an awesome sea lion show, and the penguin and seal feeding were fun too!

The Eastern Hills Mall had their "beach".  The kids had a great time, and Jonas built a pretty cool sand pail tower with some new friends.
