Can you say HOLIDAY FUN?!?!?!?

The last day of school was a blast! Who knew a "whole" school PJ day would be so fun! I was so happy to see so many teachers (Mrs. Yadon and I included) dressed up in our PJ's! We both had been on the fence about that before in 5th grade, but Wednesday we saw that WOW!! PJ's can be great fun in 5th grade. Of course, it helped that it was cold, and pajama bottoms are now in style......
The Sound of Music proved to be a great movie for our class. Every year we are amazed at the number of students who have never heard of or seen this movie before. They could hardly wait for the second part on Wednesday.

Isn't this the best? These cupcakes were a hit.
We had more food than we knew what to do with (at first) however, after snack, lunch, and snack again, we managed to get rid of most of it!
Our kids made very healthy selections! Almost everyone of them ate fruit, vegetables, or both.
The last day of school was quite blustery and cold! But, that was a good thing considering most of us had on our PJ's! That was so much fun..
Can you believe we were the only ones on the playground? A very rare occasion.
Mugging for the camera~
Brandon (who we heard is starting a new school in January) and Ethan
Ana was a great dancer as well!
Irma was great as a tea dancer!
This by far was one of the best assignments we did before the break! We were amazed at how well the flowers turned out- labeling and all.
A few old pictures from Mrs. Yadon's congratulations sign on the markee!
Well, what have you been up to these first few days of break? It has been busy around here, but I am really looking forward to a slow week! We will be going to the library, and then to a few high school basketball games. But, nothing to stressful!
We all need to rest up, because when we return we have a lot of material that we must cover before March! We will look at some of that material over the next week to give you an outline of what to expect when you return. This holiday season, be sure to help in the kitchen so you can get lots of practice with fractions.
Our first day back we will finish building our Aquatarium. We will add our fish, and worms and see how it all works out. If you want to help, try and find some rolly pollies (aka pill bugs) because we need to add those to the top as well.
Well, continue to enjoy your break! I went to the Orlando Magic game with the family in Orlando yesterday. It was a great outing, both Bishop Kenny and Nease played before the game, so for one price we saw three games!!! Now that's a deal!

Send us some pictures so we can post vacations over the break!!!
