A busy beginning to February

So February began with a bang! Kaitlyn had her first Irish dancing performance (pics and video were posted 2 weeks ago) and she did amazing. I had hip replacement surgery, so I have had amazing help here at home and Brady spent time with Grandma and Grandpa K in Cleveland while I started my recouperation at home. Things are starting to get back to normal around here but still busy as usual! We had a "minor" snow storm and Kaitlyn LOVED being out in the flakes! She started shoveling Daddy's side of the driveway (with her princess shovel daddy bought her!) and loved sledding down the hill in her new sled.

Brady returned to My First School after missing a week when he was playing in Cleveland with Grandma and Grandpa K. It was DINOSAUR WEEK and he was beyond thrilled to get involved and play. He liked "looking" for dinosaurs with his magnifying glass, playing in the dino rocks sensory table, digging for dino bones and even dressing up like a dinoasuar!

Thurday evening Kaitlyn's soccer team celebrated a fantastic season with a small banquet and medal ceremony at d. Dooley's in Fenton. She got to see all her teammates and coaches and they each recieved their participation medals. We are quite proud of her for having an amazing season.

Kaitlyn will participate in her First Feis (competition) tomorrow, Sunday 2/19. She will be pefoming 2 dances and we wish her the best as she begins this new part Irish Dancing. She truly loves it and we support her in all efforts to do well. Pictures and video (hopefully) soon to follow.

Birthday Party at Chuck E Cheese!!

Brady decided he wanted to have his birthday party with his friends at Chuck E Cheese. He invited his best buddies from school and we had a great time. He scored tons of tickets in the ticket blaster, had a Star Wars cake and had a great time playing games with all his friends. Here are some highlights from the awesome party!

What are the benefits of blogging for students? There are many benefits of blogging for students. Students can use blogging to express what they have learned about a specific topic in the classroom. For example, students have been learning about marine animals in science class. Students have been following the nesting of sea turtles in Hilton Head Island. They have each chosen a nest and have been following it on their website. Every few days, students read the progress of the nest online and then create a blog post on what they read and include images to share with their classmates. Another benefit to students blogging is for them to be able to express themselves creatively. Students can create a weekly poem blog post where they find a poem they like, copy it to their blog post (citing the author and resource where they found it) and then summarize the poem and write about why they chose it and what they liked most about it.

12 Days of Pinterest: Day 8

Day 8: 12/17/12 Ok, so I apologize for the break in my "12 days of Pinterest" posts. My parents were in from Ohio the last 5 days and we were busy celebrating Christmas (early) and doing all the St. Louis holiday things there are to do (lights, train displays, Christmas concerts....you know!). Today I am doing a something that when I saw it on Pinterest - I knew I HAD to do it! We have a ton of ornaments. They are currently on our tree (duh) but when they are in storage the other 11 months of the year, they are kept wrapped in tatty tissue paper in shirt boxes that are falling apart. Every year I say "I am going to get one of those "ornament organizers" (the ones you see at Target and Home Depot)....and every year when I go to buy one, I go into sticker shock! How can a piece of plastic that holds 12 ornaments be $20! Of course we have more than a dozen ornaments, so I went on a hunt for something cheaper! Here it is! It cost me $2.50 to make. I used cardboa...
