4 weeks to go!

Four weeks until communion. Got the dress, most of the accessories, the invites are out!
Have to take the princess for the dress fitting this week.

Happy St Patty's Day

Those pesky leprechauns did such an imaginative and thorough classroom redecoration they've actually been offered a design program on one of the cable channels. A little silly string(OK,alot), strategic furniture placement, a few chalk dust footprints and voila' a makeover in minutes.

The looks on their faces when they discovered the room in disarray! All kidding aside. They will be missed but not soon forgotten by the students and Mrs D.

And the Oscar goes to...

The red carpet was rolled out and the room was filled with family, friends and paparazzi. The kids and teachers were decked out in their finest attire and bling for a very special event. The program was the culmination of a grade wide interdisciplinary project

Everyone was a winner at the 5th annual Third Grade Oscars. Nominees for each category were voted on by their classmates. Once all the votes were tabulated by the the auditing firm of Dewey, Cheatham and Howe; it was time for the fun to begin.

It wouldn't be an awards show without a splashy musical production. (At least this ceremony had one) Special awards were presented to Dr S as well as three retiring faculty members. The third grade teachers were the presenters with Mrs B serving double duty as the emcee. There were jokes and a couple of plugs for local merchants too! Each recipient was allowed sufficient time for their acceptance speeches.

After all the awards were presented the winners struck a pose for the parent paparazzi. The it was time to return to class. Congrats to all the winners!

Spacebook, curls gone wild and no French fry left behind

Those are just a few of the ideas that went through my steel trap of a memory of late.

Spacebook is the princess names for Facebook, curls gone wild is a hair roller job gone bad and no french fry left behind speaks for itself.

Valentine's Day or the Super Bowl of Sugar Party

Attended the class Valentine's Day party yesterday. Very nice time, the kids all had a great time.

Had a little photo fun this morning! We're sending a Flat Patricia along with her cousin on his European adventure tomorrow. We can't go but she can! Keep you posted.

Fashion Week...is green the new pink, you decide.

New York Fashion week has kicked off and it would be rather dull if the princess wasn't part of it.

She vehemently insists that green is not the new pink, contrary to what her outfit might say. She does rock it though.

Color! We embrace it.Much more fun than all the boring white communion dresses of late.

Now about that red headband. Bribery has not been effective. I certainly don't want to create a dramatically traumatic scenario but it's time for it to take a vaca, maybe I'll stash it in her cousins bag before his European adventure. Asked him to stop at Gucci for me in hopes of replacing the bag the captain tossed in the trash a while back. He thinks I'm kidding, I'm not!

The dress chooses the girl

Much like the wand choosing the wizard, the dress chooses the girl. We spent some time today, seven dresses but not one that chose the girl.

Yesterday was even worse, none of the anchor stores in the mall had much of a selection. We did however choose the shoes, or shall I say the shoes chose the girl.
