Weekend Update

Ok, so for all of you that look forward to the end of daylight savings time...we don't in this house! Not because it's the official end to sunlight past 5pm or because it's the "beginning" of a long winter. It's because we have little ones in the house that don't understand the "extra hour" part and still wake up early - an hour earlier. We've (Brady and I) been up since 5:10am....having a "pancake picnic" and watching Disney Jr. (because the news wasn't even on yet!). I decided to catch up on some blogging and post some picures from our Halloween festivities last week.
The kids had their Halloween parties at school on Wednesday. I was lucky enough to be able to help out in Brady's classroom. I don't have any pictures from it yet as I am waiting for the mom who took all the great pictues to email them out. Kaitlyn's class had a great party too - they played lots of games, decorated mini pumpkins and made ice cream sundaes! 
 
 
Then is was home to get ready for Halloween! The kids were so excited  - they could hardly contain themselves. Our neighborhood starts trick-or-treating at 6:30pm - so we took some pictures on the porch with our pumpkins while waiting to start. We actually went to more houses this year than we have in the past. I guess the kids are getting older and realized the more houses we visit, the more candy they would get! Brady's favorite part was ringing the doorbell! The kids loved it!


Our combined candy loot! This is the bowl I use to hand out candy  - it holds 2 XL bags - we gave quite a bit of candy to eat!

Project 5 Task 1

 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.  Click the link below to access the Pr...

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...
