Oh my...3 and...

still counting! HOHOHO

CONGRATULATIONS...
PTA REFLECTIONS winner...
"Shadow Fun"
My photo relates to the theme because I was making magical moments at the park!
Claire we are all so proud of you! Not only did she wind the Award of Excellence at the school level BUT she also won Honorable Mention at the Frisco PTA level!

Well...Today pretty much FLEW by...I read with some pups (got some assessments done) and am being reaffirmed...They are UH MAZ ING!

We wrote about the Chinese New Year! Did you know...that getting ready for the New Year Celebration requires cleaning...the dust represents bad luck...so everyone cleans to get ready for good luck...I'm afraid to see how much "bad luck" has accumulated in my house!

We talked about  many of our holiday traditions coming  from other continents...The pilgrims packed them up and brought them over on the Mayflower! ;)

We then completed a Gingerbread Glyph. A symbol that conveys information non-verbally. Your pup should be bringing home their glyph paper...Gingerbread will come home this week...YES, covered with the DREADED glitter...sorry but this first grade teacher LOVES the stuff!

And that was pretty much our day! As I continue to countdown the days...it saddens me that I will be away from my pups for 2 weeks!  I guess I can be pretty sure that those two weeks will FLY by! Looking forward to time with family and friends and our holiday traditions...
