The Faithful Little Cupcake

What a great afternoon we had!  We were lucky enough to have friends from The Faithful Little Cupcake come in and work with us this afternoon.  Our whole class was able to decorate 4 different cupcakes with help from some great leaders!  The goal of this project was to pay it forward to someone else. We learned that by giving to others, we really come out ahead!  Our class was able to eat one of the cupcakes that each student created, but the other 3 cupcakes had to be given to someone who really may need a pick-me-up (a parent, friend, neighbor, staff member). We appreciated the lesson taught today, and we all had a fabulous time working together.

Mystery Reader #2

We were lucky enough to have another mystery reader come to our classroom on Friday afternoon.  Our class was stumped by this Mystery Reader!  It wasn't a parent, grandparent, aunt, or uncle.  It was our own mayor!  Mayor Jacki Chamberlain came to share her love of reading with us!  Thank you so much for your time, Mayor Chamberlain!  It was a pleasure to have you with us!

Mystery Reader #1

Thank you, Makenna, for sharing your mom with us!  Our first Mystery Reader was Mrs. Sigler, and everyone was very surprised!  Even Makenna!  We had a great time listening to I Ain't Gonna Paint No More and had fun with an activity afterwards!  Thanks again, Mrs. Sigler for being our Mystery Guest Reader!
